City street in the sunlight It is march it is bright Cold draft still is lingering Like a snake in my pass A person in a bundle Hunkered down for the hour Sunrays are not brightening Her stillness her need Her face I try to contact But to no avail Her stare does find an angle Towards the pavement A waving bundle of hair I do see her dish Grab coins I can spare Feeling in my cold hand Slow motion slip Her one eye opens Following the toonies descent Her stillness was interrupted We did not connect Am on my way and didn't look back
