The park is empty on this early March twilight,
The air rearranges small bits of trash for night;
Then settles to a calm for the last rays of sunlight.

A large truck rushes by on the narrow side street,
Quickly goes along when safety should make it creep,
The swirling behind it gives the dust a crude sweep.

The wind blows by beneath the chilling of darkness
Perfume of combustion and rubbish bins caress,
Only the city glow detracts from my sadness.

There is no moon to illuminate coming night
There is no glad to fill my dreams in shallow sleep
There is no tears to flow on my cheek with sadness.

Gloom

Professor...I have missed you these last few days...
you must come in from that park bench, Sir...
it's still too chill to be out so late...

poetic hugs...

Professor,

Oh, I enjoyed the imagery. So very well written. I found the ending, not gloomy, just plain sad.

Enjoyed, Pat
