Charles Lara Poems

He stood outside
the newspaper stand
on Michigan & Chicago,
the morning winter chill
...

The days line up like soldiers
One behind the other
They never stop marching
without missing a step
...

Those nights
when I
pulled away
from sleep
...

The sky was
purple blue
the city
restless with
...

the
heavens
are
closed
...

Lady Luck
pulls up her dress
and makes me smile
and she winks
...

Yellow line
under a
silver dome
touches
...

Three Rejections
in 1 day and
I can't understand
how someone
...

He told me...
The day my wife
picked up the personals
was the day
...

Red reflections
from songs
by Billie
before the empty stairs.
...
