Streetlife Poem by michael oliver

Streetlife

Rating: 5.0


1

In spring four months dusk
Lighting my homeward evening walk
the stars with deliberate ascendancy
Adjust the horizon's cloud line

2

In pub through glass interiors
The fragments of ignored sound
No - some one sips entertainment
The raucous of a seduction
All teeth and outcome eyes

3

Calm at the idle memorial
Girls humble to their mobiles
Fashion bears a naive stomach
A gentle curve predicting gravidity
Beyond masks of innocent chatter

4

Marcus passes - over the road
Loose with alcohols ambled asymmetry
A pleasant of unco-ordination
Bemused smiling within his world

5

On the other pavement discerned
Arms and legs oscillate silhouttes
Beneath the yellow light fall
A tangle of fecund expletives
Resolve about some resolving route

About translating observations one night walking home from work.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Scotty Dogg 13 May 2013

Your poems are like paintings (Lautrec) . We aren't shown everything, but that's why we love it. A peak through a hole in the fence. Distorted but beautiful. Fuzzy around the edges like a good marijuana buzz. Your walks home are pretty interesting! All teeth and outcome eyes is a favorite line.
