Transit

living in back street 
sweaty huddles 
sloppy scenic alleys 
dumpster dinning 
all alone 
  
talked of ruling the 
streets ,not the 
streets ruling you 
barefoot no shoe 
cardboard condo 
  
family has not heard 
from you in years 
you without a clue 
tears ran like rivers 
hoping you would be 
delivered 
  
how I found you , by 
chance by glance 
12 stepping someone 
and there you are 
huddled with your 
short dog 
  
I feed you loved you 
gave you hope 
gave you a shower 
socks, shoes 
something to eat 
when my back was 
turned you hit the 
street 
  
I remember the smile 
your smile 
your wit 
your gone 
let you sleep
