didn't seem likely
that one step from the edge
would lead the way here
hazy lines of secret doors
open to tree-lined streets
filled w/purple flowers smiling songs
empty benches
filled with unseen faces
chatting loudly reminiscing
anxiety stops to visit
certain of acceptance
and finds no vacant seat
laughter crowds the air
hugging over-filled suitcases
waiting patiently
for the big bus
that takes them home
