Corners Blunt and Blue

Corners blunt and blue
a hardened mold to meet
carry baggage seldom seen
a soap box on the street

Borden's white dare to fade
a peddler pulled the page
farmers daughter drawing near
soon to become of age

Streets still hold her beat
in calls that thrill the ear
reached echos and passing feet
smoke has disappeared

Decades do loom and roam
here tomorrow is standing still
memories that found a home
weathered, dustmen mill

I love the title. Although I don't really get this one, only because I'm a bit slow ;) But you're one talented and amazing poet, I've always admire your superb works... hugs and smiles :)

It is about an old milk crate and a homeless person with dementia...he remembers the past like it is happening now
