As the fire grew within

November 28, 2024 · Poem 51 of 112

The Walkman on the long rides throughout the boroughs As you explored the world. The spiral notebook bedside in your dorm room that caught your dreams Before they slipped away. The Canal Street non-prescription glasses you wore that made you see That others don't see properly. The sanctuary in Riverside Church where you could read a novel, before you went to play. Thankful for every shadow flicker that danced like prayers As the fire grew within.
