Ghostly Park

 

I have a buzz and am a mime

of lovers in the grip of time

leaning on a lamp post now

arms thrown wide I try to fly.


These few moments solely won

free at last to find someone

applauding all the people run

park bench in the evening sun.


Waiting on her every day

surely she will turn

flash a smile this way again

together we will learn.


Well it's late I must return

to the old address

urn up there upon the shelf

dark in the back closet.


Where's the love upon this world

dancing up bright hills?

Home is not the way it was

before were signed the wills. 


Neighborhood in darkness 

one warm person there

three doors down

from where I slept


they did not want to share.
