This poem is by Francis Deider Hostan-Meyer


Address of a streetcar

Desolation of being

Urban humour… laughs frail raindrops onto my face

I cry –

Masked by the rain – I cry



The clock, mocks, my sense of punctuality

What is a minute?

That can destroy a love…

Between a man and a child



GOD

Why god? Why wont the factories that shed smog of hatred –

Bitterness why wont they understand god?

BITTERNESS

I search for the wire thing that pulls on the streetcar wire,

wire wire wire



And it is

Not

There……………………………




I am left staring at an empty sky – the vacant palace of a king I have not yet known…



Boy man child

God

Love

OM
