To Gabriel

I gloss over my moods With a sparkly L’oreal And lock eyes briefly With no one in particular Strangers seem plenty I’m wary of the city Its perversities I distrust Even its curiosities I spurn-- But even the homeless have homes; well they must Maybe a pedestal in someone’s heart; Thus Give them claims to life and trust; But They leave me energy for one thing, just!

It's easy to feel alone in crowds, in cold cities where strangers roam the streets. Really like the reference to the homeless living "in someone's heart." Nice quatrain, Misheel. Love, Carolyn
