Month: May 2016

Passin’ Thru

Fixed stride, discussing where to meet for a lunchtime date,

The lady stays fixated on the road ahead,

Ignoring all to either side,

And the views they portend.

 

I AM somewhere; in a place I cannot see.

The Shadow on the Floor

The Shadow on the Floor

What is this shadow on the floor?

Unnoticed light peering curiously through a window,

Changing density and shapes by way of a passing cloud,

Showing the texture of my floor, or not.

 

What is this shadow on the floor?

All the Broken Windows

 

Here I sit, its springtime, not so cold now;

And all the windows are now broken,

Perhaps because I never moved,

Or moved too fast.

 

And never protected myself from the vandals surrounding me.
