Pained Serenity
Swaying slowly in golden dusk
A jazz record
Rotating
Like Baum's wizard
with the steamy clouds
of
a cup of tea for
One
Scent of fresh cut grass
Itching little noses held towards the
Sky
In a pair of gentle arms
with strong hands holding
a small bundle of
Life
Street lights in the rainy black cement
Walking in grey
Side by side
in
Sepia poetry
Rusted wire in the dirt
Waving faded flowers of stiff dust
old Perfume in
faded stone etched words
Sitting
Alone
Cool breezes on a beige sweater
Surrounded by Memories
Buried in a picnic basket
at the bottom of a glass of Red
Photo albums of Polaroids
Silken vines of hair
Entwined
Around callused fingers
Your sleeping face in
the scent of night
