What do you think of
Running in the dark? Do you
Reminisce of home?
Looking in windows,
Light gleams on family life.
A cat scurries home.
Supper aromas,
Smell of the river rising—
January breeze.
Streetlights popping on
Feet tattooing lonely steps
No one waits for me.
Clouds reveal the moon.
How melancholy it looks
Lone amid the stars.
Door squeaks; mom on porch
Calling kiddoes home. I grin,
Feeling ten again.
