About This Poem

another sunny Monday morn

out here in too bright sunlight squinting in hand shade through sun burnt lashes
details hide in black shadowed faces haloed in the bright of day as memories flicker of other 
days on city streets when heads held high were feared and turned on and eyes to pavement was 
a hope to make it through the day without a fight.
Unless of course one bore the daily pain to build a bloody rep and even then sun could shine too 
brightly exposing weaknesses in chinks that loved the shade.
To smile into the sunlight blind, shifting gravitational center on each step prepared and readied 
for  whatever the moment brings and trusting in oneself to deal with it again.
