Some simple poems from the past few commutes on the bus.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
The earth wakes<\/p>\n
Flesh-tinted bands stretch over<\/p>\n
A drop of blue in a clear pool<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Standing straight<\/p>\n
Hands in pockets<\/p>\n
Oakland frame store sentinels<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Child pacing in cold<\/p>\n
Trying to shake<\/p>\n
Anxiety of the day<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Ethnic huddles in the city<\/p>\n
Small church buildings provide<\/p>\n
A respite from the cold<\/p>\n
Of living in a place, unknown<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Ivy creeps over walls<\/p>\n
Try to mask<\/p>\n
Concrete human chutes<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Sunlight peeks over hills<\/p>\n
All of nature<\/p>\n
Stretches to meet it<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
The mind designs<\/p>\n
From its past<\/p>\n
Soul creations bring new life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
