the scavengers

by David Lewis LEO - Not entered

your dreams dropped by roadside
blow in nighttime breeze
like lonesome trees
wishes lost on waterfronts
float high on waves
just watching days go by
and once falls dark, the Moon’s sweet child
we silent few
go quickly through
find all your empties 
and snatch them up in whispers
our favorite sound, the rustling
crinkly could-haves drifting in the night
Birth sign: Not entered
