orgami's Diaryland Diary

Old street

oh we wade in all right
slowly the depths fall
footstep by footstep

its so cool

and no one seems out today
in force like yesterday
when it was hot and wave filled

the fall is coming fast
summer is over
and yet the sun shines in the
afternoon now
unlike in July when it rained
after twelve
like a mourners damp funeral

rain falling in so many ways

we spend our time now sitting
drying our frozen feet
and shivering bodies
slipping back into hot shirts
and dusty shoes

hoping not to get caught by the
train at the tracks as it slowly
rolls out of town
deisel blowing out the stacks
high squeal of metallic brakes
bound for out west somewhere
Canadian Pacific

we make it
walking under tall trees on
the streets old towards home
ancient brick and sewer covers

hungry for dinner
