i liked the little details of urban decay here. nature takes back everything, that's true. this reminds me of the 'green corridor', the former KTM line. and i think your last strophe is really a very strong image.
glad to see you writing again. :)
Thanks. I have started again but mostly offline. Life has been kinda messy lately, not really in a bad way, just many sudden changes I guess.
