Poem by Gary S. Rosin
Before the Bustle
The sky is bluing, but lights in the fountain still glow yellow; streetlamps spotlight the sign mounted on the building. Inside the entry, early morning light shines through windows, doors. But the day is dripping, rippling in the fountain— you can hear the seconds.
