Urban Girl



There’s a scare
-city here of silence,
a st(r)um
-bling of sounds
grumbling ’round
her (l)edges.

The clock ticks
her off; the calendar
boxes her into a
corner, chides.

She hides tiny stories
in poem pockets, waits
……………………for rain.

    I love the scene this poem depicts in my head, and I really enjoyed the world play that you accomplished with the parenthesis.
