Out of Focus

The golden micro packs of light in air A sunken belly of a poor woman A few people rising still more upstairs A guy is lashing a dog, inhuman A little boy has just been run over The poor mother sobs her heart out in shock An amazing tulip looking at her Unable to feel why has stopped her clock Rush of traffic hurrying in their strife A dead street dog at the pavement corner Death a nano drop in the sea of life Always vibrant in its laughing water But seriously we hardly think thus Though your face often fades out of focus _____________________________________ 01/02/2017

An amazing (and emotive) study of street life (and much more) all packaged and bound within the gift of a sonnet. Well done. JH

Life's afflictions you have purred out my friend, Probir with such a mastery that one forgets its content and enjoys the Sonnet!
