Poems
Sep 2019
Grain Elevator, Alton Illinois
colors once bright
now off
pale
one year
and the paint
fades flakes
and the American Flag
is nearly washed away
by snow rain dirt and dust
yet it waits
patiently
for summer
and sun
to summon
painters cleaners
the worker bees
to scramble rally
around its cause
trust for you
trust for me
trust we can
still once more
strike a match
ignite the torch
and keep it lit
