Just Write poem (10/10/08): “At The Playground Next To Azia’s House”

Beyond the cobalt blue shells with metallic underbellies
and the mirror that reflects someone you aren’t anymore
is the rain, and the colors that come with it:
spelling promise out for the illiterate of the bunch.
No longer do I bend over to pick up the sea glass
or the bottle caps, or even the smooth stones,
because I have found the promise elsewhere:
in that rainbow I saw the other day when I found
myself staring blankly out of the bus window.
