Sunlit Remembrances

Clouds block the sun
        in the afternoon
but the cloud cover
       breaks about four
The blazing orb sends
       its 
  somewhat unwelcome
message
to 
the 
heart
        of the metropolis
             The city swelters
Near a crowded avenue
          a young girl
sits combing her auburn hair
      A grey truck heads eastward
      A peddler sells pretzels
      A shop is open
Beneath the ball of fire
Millions of *****sapiens
           are moving, growing, changing
Memory and sunlight
two forces which guide
       all our days
Are doing their work
We can only plan and
yes, hope
         The city calls to us - it's children
we will answer in due time
