angel city blues
Edward L. Canavan 1971 (New York)
wide awakened
as the rain subsided
the day
not quite
the day yet
the fog of forgetting
still heavy in the air
she once was in love
and filled the empty space beside me
now,
there are mornings
like this
rooms full of empty spaces
and quiet sorrow
until,
again,
the birds
caged inside my heart
will sing
for another.
