Through the obfuscating mesh
The weary tree scales the windows
A shower of green
A natural rest
Slowing to a stop in the middle of my attention
People walking by Einstein’s and the Chenango Room
Under the watchful eye of Library Tower North

Scattered pieces of a coliseum
Lounging in the overcast glow
Before and after the rain comes
In weather’s stillness I sit
Restless with questions

None of them coherent

I miss that somber dim afternoon
Across the world from an endless seaside park
Alabaster pods by the rush of the ocean
Staring out at the discolored horizon
Taking in the frenzied hope and jubilee of children at play

The 3:00 bell rings over Bartle and all the children are silent
