A Wallet Is Crying
busily
from NJ to NY coming and going
meet G.W.Bridge
at entrance to New Jersey
sometimes encounter
a mid 30s female
scattered hairs,
puffy lips,
approaching with broken shoes
she can't holding a light paper
words of desperate help
by the spring breeze
drops and picks up
over and over
when bows down
the hot afternoon sun
pours behind back
Hurriedly
i take out wallet
lower window a little
hand over one dollar
She blesses my future
never forgets to smile.
As soon as
i do that
unbearable sorrows coming out
my fingers begin to tremble.

The exchange between two strangers is always interesting, but when poets have these types of encounters, it affects us with kindness and humility.
Nice work.
Nice work.
