We Sat There

***

Two vacant park benches
under an old gray pine
are slate and damp
with dingy mold,
moss & pine needles
coat cracked seats
& tables crisscrossed
by mucus slug-trails–
        
A gray squirrel grips a stray
acorn between razor teeth
to sit and nibble under chilly
ashen bowers; this somber
winter day of the newborn
year. We sat there.

This is one of those poems where the poet has the ability to take the reader to the scene described with so little effort. Before I finished reading this poem I was already there.

Thank you
Keith
