Cold Transparent Glass

Black disheveled hair gathered into ponytail,

lithe of limb & tall for her tender age,



her wet white baggy t-shirt--diaphanous

transparency of woman-child breasts



blossoming sunflowers on cold concrete

in a monster city of fumes and shadows.



She sprinkles soapy water on my windshield,

hand shaking circles rocking car and driver inside,



her fresh girlish smile is a lot more valuable

than the dime I offer her;



yet, she takes it satisfied before she slips back

into the night--a splendid vision in a troubled dream,



this fair fallen angel working miracles

on cold transparent glass.

Lost innocence and fading hopes of a fragile man...leaves me somewhat perturbed.

Another beautiful picture painted by Jim. The imagery is so vivid... the reader sees the girl or wishes he could. Jim, you're the man.
