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
