Pocket Change For Pansies Poem by Susan Lacovara

Pocket Change For Pansies

Rating: 5.0


I see him

Counting pocket change

To buy a flat of pansies

As if to plant his burdens

Deep down in the soil

And stretch his soul

Out on a hammock

Swing in a daydream

Waiting for the colors to burst

And his troubles to lift

I offer him a few crumpled up dollars

From the jeans I wore dirty

Stained from planting my own pansies

Today

Shared pocket change
