Sidney Beck Poet Imagism

Udelnaya Market 6:30 Pm

UDELNAYA   MARKET   6:30 PM

6 30 and not yet all gone -
Shadows lengthening,
Suns light in eyes, still 
Difficult to see the  end . 
Flowers of the day now dried petals,
Empty boxes, blowing papers.
   
Basket-seller struggles
With armfuls of wickerwork; 
Cigarette butt ends burn out;
Concertina man collects up
His  small coins to leave.

Day-blankets spread on ground
And covered with junketry
Leave their prints  in the dust.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Note.
This is the day’s end when the busy Udelnaya flower market is closing.
