"Staring down a white-tailed doe"
Small town factories
put the hard line
on faces. All of them
in a vertical destruction of youth,
skin hanging there
a wrinkle of time.
Generations
pulling long hours
sucking in black death,
diamond death,
poverty death.
It is all tattooed
on the inside of lungs,
painted over eyes,
along the jaw
clenched unknowingly.
The subconscious is the only faction
aware that there were
once dreams
of something more
than making rent and car payments,
of cigarettes and six packs
consumed.

This is really good. Short & sharp. It reminds me of where I work, in an old mill building complex, and all the people who ever worked there in the last hundred years. It reminds me of where I live, because there are still many of these soot-stained factories here, in the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
