Doorway Stranger Poem by Phil J Hambling

Doorway Stranger

Drunken cast out
Left in the doorway
His heart bleeding dry
In the echoes of the alley
And the concrete stairs
Warm to the ears
Of a December chill
The stark intention
To blank out the future
And find some answers
At the end of that knife
Glinting in the shadows
Of the unknown sleeper
Dead to the world as the night softly passes
The whistling echo regret
Spun in the gutters
Of malice
