It used to be full of life
And now just the spiders and the bugs
The flies no longer visit
They have better things to do
than hanging around
packed in a web ready for lunch
Suspended in a corner a spider looks down
Observes the creeping bugs
The bugs look up at the spider
Disappear in a crack in the floorboards
Outside it is green
Plants that no-one would want in their garden
Officially forbidden to enter with a sign
There used to be people here
The noise of machinery
Now abandoned
The spiders and bugs continue with their daily life
saying good morning and good night to each other
I love the last two lines. I can just imagine them doing that. ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฆ๐

Actually it comes from a German saying where in country places we say the rabbit and the fox say goodnight to each other.

It’s an old factory in Solothurn. I remember when it existed, but now abandoned at least 30 years ago. For a while a small theatre was there, but that is also no longer. Now it is boarded up and the blinds are hanging broken. The paved side path is now overgrown with weeds.

Isn’t it wonderful how writing and photography makes us look at the world around us, differently? I really love this post! Thank you for sharing.

Just a tad depressing, but good. If the spiders give up, then it’s really OVER.

There is perhaps a lot more livestock in that building. It has been there in that condition for many years.
