Neither more nor less

Tompkin Square Park, 2 poems, 2 views

Lost souls
sit in Tompkins Square Park
waiting as if some bus
will arrive
but it ain't ever going to arrive,
toothless, vicious cycles, broken dreams and needles,
empty bottles of cheap alcohol and drugs,
under the stunning green canopy Tompkins


Tompkins

light illuminates
magnificent trees
connecting living tapestry
shelter from chaotic city
swaying softly
beauty
living canvas
enduring stories
poetry alive at peace
I am at peace rich moments precious quietude
under the stunning green tapestry

I posted this with one of my drawings of the trees on my valentines

Thinking of those brave souls that make the community safe for us to enjoy the beautiful trees...thank you. And a dear 9-11 friend that walks with me unconditionally...
