Moon reflected moon
I lived and saw
The gutter turned
Around and left
The space
Where I was
There were
Two faces
That were
In the mist and dust
Like mules
Carrying a burden
The cement
Floor
Of the world
Stood cracked
And little branches
Of green things
Poked through
The mystical
Thought that
All things
Have a season
Maybe is a bit
Trite
But the people
Who walk by
Each have a season
Someone is bent over a cane
Someone else is dying
In the street
Someone else
Breathes
Mist and coughs up phlegm
The street aches
And women slink
Down the street
Men stutter across
The road
(never mind the crosswalk)
In the sky above
Moon
Reflected
Moon
And then some
