Park Bench...(Stephen’s Green).

...Dublin ..Park Bench
Sitting here dreary...
Hard Bench ...Dewy wet bum rot bench
Could seem like eternity stilled
Possibly it is..

A city the colour of Tears
A heavy float of clouds above.
People in grey .

Low-key palette
Grass...sky... a Fountain
And a shadow
Hard bench buttocks
And a gaze

Letting time pass
For the hour to meet me

All that’s life drifts away...moves on
Too soon gone
Each second melts
Unique and perfectly
Gone.
