Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Just a street scene from the Mornington Peninsula
~
I almost passed this moment ~
I almost thought
It had no story
No message
No picturesque
Impact
~
But then
I turned back
And
Looked again
~
This was the first time
I had ever noticed
Someone
Living
Upstairs
~
The hunch
Of the seated figure
Implied
Focus ~
Maybe reading
Maybe dreaming
Maybe simply
Letting the rare moment
Of warm
Winter sunlight
Linger
Through tired limbs
~
Maybe
Even close to
Sleeping
In a very private
Sacred
World
~
Upstairs
For thinking
~
Downstairs
For others
To wonder ~
And move on
~
