such a waste

sirens sing the angels home
devils smile their angry breath
drawing forth
words crashed against the breaker
all the while saying,
the road ahead is lined
with broken dreams
carry on this one-way obstacle
hauntingly weightless
in this hollow horizon
never to feel
these long tired dreams

Reminds me of a young person being loaded into an ambulance after sustaining a life-altering injury..perhaps from a snowmobile?
That's life in the North.
