FIVE THIRTY PM

Michael Edwards

            

              FIVE THIRTY PM                    

                                                                                             

Low clouds,

rumbling, releasing

black teardrops

on dripping umbrellas,

that hover like lilies

above the wet walkways

reflecting red neon

and yellow street lighting

as head-down commuters

jostling and bustling

seek out their shelter

in crowded mass transport

that empties the city.

    I'm in Houston to now. Talk about mass transit. We had black raindrops in Southern California. The rain would cleanse the smog for a few hours.

    A simple moment in time, yet so poetically expressed

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks so much - I really appreciate that you are looking into the archives - sometimes commenting on past work which I had forgotten. Thanks again Suresh.

        I get to read the works I have missed, and the pleasure of getting a new perspective
