Seeing Stars
Strangers that I've met.
Lost in a trance-- watching
Escalator steps cycle
Mustering courage-- gripping
The rail-- I stand aware
Not wanting to fall-- today
Protecting my injured foot
Cautiously watching people
Climbing past me-- minding my own
Emerging from the tunnel
Walking out on iced pavement
Teens horsing around-- thinking
How to avoid an accident-- walking away
And I wipe out. My head even--
Hitting pavement-- what happened?
Seeing Vincent musing Venus
And the Cyprus-- understanding
Looking up-- a child apologizes
His young, yet older, sister fusses
At him-- compassionately
All is forgiven-- he showed remorse
Again, I think of Vincent
The teens taunting a master--
Humility, empathy-- a world presuming
Pretentious narcissism-- His life
Only appreciated in death
The lost and found of a morning
Still-- another version of The Passion
The Starry Night
