UNTITLEDA Poem by Red HammondsThe wet breath of foggy dew licks the back of my ears and stings my eyes. The cold brick bleeds through my shoulder as I lean against for all that is life in that moment. It is there that i can see it, almost feel the warmth of a 5th story window glow across the path. A yellow -orange harmony inspiring through an open sheer white vale of safety. Just one step, two steps- just three steps more... But the frailty beneath my knees gives way to acceptance of cool concrete against my cheek. It is a welcome gift of sharpness to my jumbled thoughts and it is okay- because from this position i can still see the window. Maybe they will see me too this time @Red Hammonds 2014 © 2015 Red Hammonds |
