passing the beggar
a man steps round the thought
of someone in need
poverty
Skim Milk
panhandler shivers
as cold faces stream past
skim milk tonight
Rain
rain at harvest
tears in the eyes
of many mothers
Bouquet
listless bouquet
from a weary street vendor
cement sidewalk
Cabin
things in my cabin
hang neatly on the wall
contentment complete
Homeless
like a stray cat
the teen girl searches the dumpster
one more time
Faded Roses
a widow gathers
faded roses from the park
the scent of poverty
