Skim Milk

panhandler shivers
as cold faces stream past
skim milk tonight

A Life of Ease

carefree vagabond
enjoys the free wildflowers
never pulls a weed
rests in the shady woods
never plants a tree

Cricket

the bag lady
her house a cardboard box
shares crumbs with a cricket

Homeless

like a stray cat
the teen girl searches the dumpster
one more time

Circling the Thought

passing the beggar
a man steps around the thought
of someone in need

Beggar’s Dream

a vagrant by the door
hoping for small change
to effect big change

What Is He Up To?

he drifts in, drifts out
gives neither name nor address
a strange fog lingers
