the mark

the sun was a lazy sigh

between looming towers of brick and steel

casting shade on a semicircle of shrills.

 

the mark doubling down.

 

cups spun fast as office gossip,

his neck craned to keep an eye,

the shell was irrelevant to everyone,

but the mark was focused,

although unnecessarily.

The keen observation of poet and ability to interpret is beyond marvelous, poet can make poems from basically anything, if keen observation, splendid imagination, gift of talent combined, great visualization along with poet is possible, that is what I usually like in general about your poems, can show the reader exactly poet saw and making readers mind broader, impressed

I have no idea why but this reminded my of playing a "spin the bottle" drinking game when I was a teen. Funny memories but gosh we were horrible! We would skip out of last hour and play behind the old gym ...in the warmth sun..in your gym clothes. We had no worries then....or so we thought.
