Description
Luminous beneath the half-wit moon, it standsWith all the sundry junk about it, rusted, broken
Singing through the wires, delivered anxiety
Cable-wrapped, copper inside sleek black coaxial
A phone booth, black dial-up for calling God
Lazarus waits like a popped balloon for resurrection
Oil slick beneath his feet, worms abound
Singing hymns to the moon, delicately frostbitten
It stands in this place, haunted by ragged dreams
Old dreams, new dreams of Norco and morphine
Yellowed newspapers in bundles, stained canvas bags
Tall beneath cold stars and moon, never moving
A broken theater sign, the letters spell gibberish
Hundreds of old autos decaying, rubber tires slick
Stacked into columns to rot, leaving rusty wheels
This is where it stands, will stand for a hundred years

This one ought to go immediately into you gallery instead of scraps, and into MadHatters as well.
If it were mine to alter, I'd leave out the comma between "delicately" and "frostbitten" in The last line of stanza 2.
