Out... Poem by Esther Melbourne

Sitting here in the cold
Swallowed in
Greens
Browns
Oranges
Reds
Train
Fly by
Click clack click clacking
Whilst children sharply shout
Spin
Run
Sing
Sing
Birds tweeting joyously
Wind blowing easily through
Long
Veins of leaves
Hang over branches
upon branches
Creating a mushroom shape
Bang bang
bang
One by one parents stroll out
With their infants
For evening tea

I remain seated
Observing
Life...
