Matthew Anish Poet Imagism

Thoughts On a Summer Evening

A summer evening 
in the asphalt homeland
     One more dance 
one more sigh 
    the park is growing dark now 
          The benches are 
       fille with the resplendent energy 
                  of youth 
 A grey haired man walks near the entrance 
      Cars pass by on the avenue 
     The streetlamps will
     soon start to glow 
     Some songs are yet to be sung
