Analysis of Birmingham skyline
Regret is isolation drifting along empty street
The grey shutter past our old school
I thought about you, I am alone along a dark path,
Those windows and door, those staircases.
A barren lamppost lights my way.
I cry inside for our departed,
Cloud formations above Birmingham remind me of you,
Canal toepath beside the trainline
Reflection upon the water.
Silence at 4 the streets, the roads deserted,
alone past Mulberry Bush bird sing to memory.

About this poem
The loneliness of Lockdown streets and cloud formation across Birmingham City Centre viewed through train and memories of those we lost never to return.
