PRISONER GAZING

Folder: 
AUTHENTIC STONER GIBBERISH

 

Prisoner gazing

longingly

toward artistic triumph

architectural glory

 

gazing, dreaming

clinging desperately

to a faith long vanquished

 

and yet

in the setting sun

the hope promised

by Shelley and Keats

still springs eternal



 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The photograph was taken at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.  It is a long distance photograph of the Art Museum.  I wrote the poem riding the train home that evening.
