Skip across the street 
Category: Writing and Poetry 

Skip across the street
Wind blows through the people you meet
Flowing through the places you know
Places no one else would dare go
Like a river you flow

Back yards
Alley ways
Parking lots
No one stays

The weak of constitution stare
Not knowing where
Where you've been
That lonely pang tears at your heart again
Pushing it back down and then
You're back out on the street again

Out of sight out of mind
Conscience blind
Free as a bird
Small spaces
Passing faces
Time races
Leaves no traces
The human race is

Cold
Like this street at night
Bedroom lights go out
Nobody around
Heart on the ground

A porch light
Someone inside
Heart burns bright
Waiting for you
To come home
