Curried green
And seen if seen
In the haste
Of a summer’s morn.
Not seen
In winter days
In the overcastted late
Of dream-spent spenders
Caught
In the night
Of artificial light.
From body-tired
To mindless ease
From consuming, routined
Hours to please
Powers and privilege.
Weekend escapes
Vacation leaves
Past miles unseen
From abodes unseen
Double-locked and alarmed.
Embellished walls
Wide, mortgaged halls
All
Vaulted silence.
Emptied
In the endless search
For enough
Of more.
