Early Morning Memories
Shops closed tight
by iron gates
bare metal tables
line Farmers row
Pigeons strut the promenade
pecking at scraps
missed by the sweeper
Apple annie shoos the gulls
digs through wilted greens,
fish heads, oozing tomatoes
in search of her daily bread
Evening ladies leave the
LaSalle Hotel for breakfast
after a hard night's work
Face down
on spittle covered asphalt
fragile souls clutch
paper sack covered
bottles of apple wine
Thinking back I can visualize all of this. Amazing, the moments you remember.
