She Walks on by...
by
Jude Aher
(for MaryJo)
tonight I'm going to walk
again those long quiet concrete streets
where only street-lamp shadows
can hold me long,
i look for the angels
to whisper, a lost soul free
but
no one stands on this concrete
just me
oh! shadow tears
where do you cry!
where a younger girl cries
where a mother, too young dies.
and a universe
seems only to sigh
no reason why
just the broken sky
a young girl to woman is born
quietly
oh, so quietly.
even the shadows barely stir
and the angels,
in the silence do their tears carry her...
