Seattle's Lament

'Seattle Street Scene' by Wayne R. Flower


Asleep like that
They look so harmless,
Square, dark,
Save electric eyes
That float like downed stars.
Caught in dark spaces beneath purple sheet skies.
I know better, know what lives in them.
Bone and gas and muscle.
My cousins, my killers, my lovers.
