Tonight's Poet Corner: Carnation Alley
Carnation Alley
by Belinda Roddie
A hobo grows a sunflower patch
in Carnation Alley just for me, just for me, and
plants the seeds of wishes under a
sycamore tree, and the bumblebees all
navigate from the garbage pails, where the
crust of last night's pizza grows stale, and they
hum a song for the guy who got shanked here
on Tuesday, under a sycamore tree.
