Refuge

damp drizzling day
like two adjectives (see first line)
that are almost redundant
just a few pearls of rain
hanging on bare branches
bones
a few globes of rain
explicit
not implicit
separating
damp from drizzling
but it is day nonetheless
the sun shrouded in cloud
a miasma of vapor
chilling to the human bone
but warm enough not to be ice

doesn't matter
uncomfortable in the recessed doorway
of a store
where antiques were sold yesterday
and tomorrow
but not on Sunday
the merchants at prayer
for the dispossessed
and those who owe
back taxes

Thx, irish

clever snapshot
