On the corner of 17th Ave & 14th St.

By ecologist

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Whirling dervishes      they wait in the eddies      for the frozen flow      of the steel river,       to spin and dance      as water sprites      in tattered, torn clothes.      On the corner of 17th ave & 14th St.      they cavort      with flesh-rending      steel monsters,       they fly, between      angry jaws       and salivating teeth.      Surviving,       they skip to      the concrete lined       shore,      playing tag      with crimson waves,      waiting for      the ebb tide      to begin their dance      once again.
