Autumn Scene
AUTUMN SCENE
A deserted outdoor café -
Empty tables piled in corner,
Sun-umbrella, collapsed in desultory
Flapping, and folded wetly to itself.
Concrete planter box with pansies -
Tired, wilted, droopy, washed out;
Discarded ice-cream wrappers -
A watery white smudge on the kerb.
Bare wet sidewalk reflecting her legs,
Raindrops spitting onto her glasses,
A woman hurrying with her umbrella,
Stepping quickly round the puddles.
