Aesthetic Realism Looks at New York City: Poetry
Louis Dienes
Images
In a stone wall across a misty street In the rain falling between two skyscrapers, In the echoing pounding of my heels on a long city walk, My brain caressed your image. You floated in a still place. Shafts of light and images Rubbed against you, went through you, Replaced your heart, arms. My incomplete conception of you Danced in the black disappearing end of a Train disappearing down a tunnel With its four corner lights, two red and two white, Growing closer together in the distance. |
