Middle Side of Town


Stigma pushing a cart
Pounding the pavement
“What does love mean to you…”

Coffee with that Blue
Rusted spirals
Molted feathers
Instinctively fragile
Rejected, but tempting
Nestled between wheels
And days of black and White

Worn by the notes
chords,
and hippies.
Patchouli
Petitions
It’s Genius.

Change to spare
With whipped cream on top
Hang me…
Near the vinyl
Won’t you please
Ignore the rain?

It’s dirty
But it’s a cycle.
Somebody’s got to do it.
Safety pins
Pine for you.

Diamonds
In the rough middle
Side of town
Confession in a box
Scratch across the floor
Head—
Bang—
To the beautiful sounds.

This is my answer,

to every question.

You’ll never ask.

"All you need is love..." -The Beatles

Steph, this is a lovely poem.
Hidden meanings? Delightful.
Great, heartfelt write.
Some people might not understand..
But hey, I do.
Love you, and hang in there,
my friend!

hugs and smoochies
