Park Bench

A smooth breeze brushes my face

And stiffens my hands.

Light burns the underside of bridges,

While a lost train cries out,

Screeching in lonely desperation.

 

Joggers grate a sandy sidewalk

And clouds wait low in the distance;

Their coral hues almost blending

     with the thick horizon.

Planes crawl, carried in the glacier of the sky.

All frozen into the portrait of today.
