Sunday Afternoon Poem by C. Dale Young

Sunday Afternoon



Beyond the strings of water
clinging to the windowpane,

there were no cranes, just rain,
a sky blurred by wet glass,

a pond corrugated by raindrops,
and, inside, the smell of naphthalene bars,

a Victrola with a broken arm,
a spotty daguerreotype, a dusty crinoline—

O mildewed, seersucker suits
draped over vacant chairs.
