Sitting on the rocks
Taking off her shoes and socks
Her cheeks are now wet
Facing away from sunset,
Trying to find peace
Watching the growing dark east
As light slips away
At the ending of the day.
“Tell me Mister D
why so much sorrow must be.”
I just look at her
For I have no good answer
She’s expecting none,
Words won’t make events undone.
As night takes the day
Lights now shine across the bay,
Lights are Earth bound stars
Comets on the bridge are cars
Going place to place
With appointments off they race.
Mist will rise up soon
Before the sliver of moon
And darkness in now complete.
“Put shoes on your feet,
there’s broken glass in the street.”
“In a bit I will
the water on toes I’ll feel,
pretending once more
I have a summer in store
Going back in time
At least in my dreamers mind.”
It’s a hidden spot
Beside factories forgot
Of long ago past
In previous money crash.
Steel and red brick
With weeds that have grown up quick,
To hide the decay.
It’s where city children play,
Teenagers learn life
And mourners cleanse sorrow’s strife.
Once reality,
Now a place of fantasy
And washing out memory.
