Street
lights illuminated
Cold
clings to your bones
The only
ones outside those that have nowhere to go
Voices
are heard above the wind
People
wanting to make a quick buck
Others
looking for shelter for the night
Some
drunk are just angry at the world and the only way to release that pinned up
rage is to fight
Up
ahead, past George’s liquor store walks a lady
She’s
old, frail
God bless you. God bless you
Her
whispers are barely audible
Yet
everyone knows what she said
She doesn’t
stop to talk
Walking
is her only mission
Wrapped
around one hand is a rosary
Her weapon
