Bus Experience

Piles of human arms and sloppy heads laid On food-trays of half-eaten buns with cold tea Magazines, milk bottles, and jackets Passed us by in a whisk of infinity; You never once moved but peacefully slept Just this night---- Amidst the chill of a bus-filled moment. In deep amens, I hold your face for a while But time beckons military hours, grating; I write you a letter of love that never questions As courage greets me again on enemy zones. I stay a bit longer even while duty calls Shall I leave you once more After a lit embrace seemingly endless? My only gesture is to let you know of my fidelity And you rest while I slowly walk out the bus door. Tell me, who is the better person? Henry W. Contest...Brief, Unforgettable Moment Date Nov 25, 2013
