Crosswalk

2010-07-08

I thought I saw her standing there

Windblown drops of rain

pelting down upon her

The sky crying about something

wailing to no one

screaming at everyone

Her back shielded her from me

nothing blocked the rain

I couldn't get a clear glimpse of her face

she looked towards the heavens and shook her head

The rain kept on coming

she started to go

She smoothly slid through the crowded street

Cars looking on, waiting for green

People nearly colliding

Phones and music and games

Never really seeing or believing

She zigged and zagged

Then in a flash she was gone.

Beauty of movement

in a moment in time

Something I wish I could have had
