Poem: East Street


Quarter moon hangs yellow
in a near-forgotten sky
the stars, aligned so randomly
flecks of metal
shimmering
on East Street
We have no dead end signs
on East Street
we’re a thoroughfare combined…
with
Houses full of people, waiting to emerge
upon a busy morn, see the garbage cans along the curb,
on East Street
the buses rumble by
on East Street
we never seem to mind…
