The After Down
A summer breeze has swept the streets
In upbeat funk and rhythm,
And shade cascades on storm cloud lace
And brown-brick faced urban children.
Streetcar rattle taps out coded memories:
Shampooed hair on unmade beds—
Unknown pillows in shadowy, bright nights,
Exhaust that lingers in wakes of cars
Stopped for the empty changing of lights,
A memory of you waiting—
Passing through.
Do you remember me like I do?
The ‘me’ that wasn’t true?
—The empty heat that blew through you, leaving?
The storm I awoke to in the calm, sleepless morning?
—The rain that almost fell?

2/10/9 - making some changes to try to work it better. I'm going to hopefully get some more feedback on it from my prof. after I submit it tonight.
