The glove lay on the ground abandoned. The graffiti on the walls cried foul in color. The cracked windows of tenements blacked out. A neighborhood of souls in despair entombed.

Thank you! That was a last moment change. I think it is much better than apartments, which was the word I originally wrote down.

Maranda, appalling photo! Your well-written poem captures the desolation perfectly. Do you know where the photo was taken?
Hope all is well with you. ❤ Cheryl

No, I don’t know where it was taken. It was from Pixabay.
