Poems by Patrick Frank
Quiet Change
We throw the I Ching
And come up with Traveling
All day I feel tense
Now at dusk, as darkness falls
I let go, welcome the new
There is a clatter
In the kitchen of fishes
Music and talking
In the bedroom. Now the sound
Of the cicada, healing
Walking Up From the Worthington Street Shelter
I am walking up the hill from the shelter at 7 AM
Headed to the donut shop where the locals hang out
I dont remember what happened to my car
I used to drive there
I have my gym bag, with stuff to read and write
The folks ignore me and talk about their own thing
I write in my journal
Searching within for a vision of hope
Some semblance of a plan
I will walk to the bus station locker soon
To check on my things
