Sidney Beck Poet Imagism

At Dusk

AT       DUSK


She cries at the window to be out
Runs to the fence which is no barrier
Dives under the imprisoning wires
The liquid cat

Brings memories of times past
Outside nothing but ambulance sirens
Kisses and hugs are weapons

Smell of cold air through the window
The cold welcome of Greenland’s chilly arms
And daylight seldom seen

Just some phrases I heard or thought of, and I put them together, more or less in one go. My personal favorite was "liquid cat" hahaha with my very best wishes as always Stay safe Syd
