Homeless Hearts
Hearts of homeless shadows abound
Dreaming in doorways without a sound
Forever teasing through tainted trash
Panhandle for bleeding hearts clash
I willfully ignored them all the time
I now examine their faces’ every line
And delve deeply into their ebony eyes
Curious why wonder wouldn’t rise
If hate or hostility is not their host
If embarrassed enough to act a ghost
I ask if I can make their day
With funds that fancy to startled bouquet
I grew up dissecting city dwellers
My latent luster may stage to stellar
A smile, a thanks, or maybe a caress
For my homeless heart to coalesce
