A Poem by Alice Shapiro (guest Blogger)

Calming

A fast walk,
mad lungs spitting air.
Then rest, leaning
on an oak facade
of a vacant shop.
Sunday for some
is church, then
washday. Others,
stay-in-bed,
read-the-paper day.
Where are the sane?
I walk it off, then
Van Gogh ignites
my basement gallery.
Asperity melts into
a single brushstroke.
