Spell My Name

passion like silk
courses through veins
dusk crawls
across city streets

faded rattle
train track trestle
stepping over
broken glass

hustle in my walk
rain dust on face
guided footsteps
stumble forward

crossing
crestfallen alleyway
trying to chisel
out a trail
in the crumbling
concrete beneath
my aching feet

forgetting
the letters that
spell my name
hoping somebody
else can remember
who I am
when I'm gone
so it all will not have
been in vain

wonderfully written from start to finish

Sharon!

ssig_great_100-101 line changes in this last part

forgetting
the letters that
spell my name
hoping somebody
will, graciously, remember
who I am
before I'm gone
so it all will not have
been in vain

well-crafted poem

love these 2 stanzas

"faded rattle
train track trestle
stepping over
broken glass

hustle in my walk
rain dust on face
guided footsteps
stumble forward"
