Joe

His frost bitten nose,
Scarlet like blood,
His blanket a cardboard box,
Under the ledge,
He sought shelter,
But luck with him was not.

A velvet cap scarce with 
pennies,
Guilt ridden coins,
For all were cut with careless 
greed,
And intentions good were not.

His heart heavy and eyes 
longing,
Cast across the sky
A final hour,
A final wish,
A meal for the night.
