There She Goes
...chasing down my lane…
The La’s (1988)
Concrete falls on the street
her heel catches rocks a boat
the weather looks very foreign
her ass sways rides a swell
eyes meet two little smiles
seems we both take a breath
maybe it’s the real red thread
humans hold draw ever closer
(alley cats sit up take notice
umbrella birds go quiet again)
she floats a moment she shines
then goes like she always goes
& into the abyss like rain goes
nothing I mention comes back.
What a lovely poem, the photo or painting too just shimmers.
