Memorial Bench
Dark day,
early spring
John O'Sullivan's
memorial bench
He sits,
watching river
run by,
jacket open
Bottle uncapped,
paper bag
from hand
to mouth
He drinks,
watching river
run by,
water's high
Glassy eyes,
cigarette smoke
clinging near
John's bench
He cries,
watching river
bottle empty,
heart broken
