Mag #52: Eccentric emptiness

Image via Magpie Tales
Behind blurry glasses
a story unknown
masking the truth
of the lives of the known.
The snow covered pitches
windows hidden
in the reflections blurred
a fact forbidden.
parched foliages
no oxygen to breath
the nakedness of trees
seeking spring to lead.
The eccentric emptiness
screaming the silence
no man no creature
no signs of violence.
