Noel at La Quena

by retrogirl

Deserted streets
Peace in numbers
In from the cold
Candles in the coffeehouse
Orphans from the Island
Christmas on the Drive
Hemp and dreads and veggie food
Day spent with a minimum of ghosts
Pink Floyd
Guatemalan rags
A five and a penny
In the donation bucket
While frosted fog
Drifts in over the water
Only snow is in the mountains
Only three coins in the fountain
And slipping into sleep
The day has dawned
And set
And there are no tears
No tears
Because there is peace
In numbers
Coming in from the cold
And there are candles in the coffeehouse
And things are okay
Today
For only the cost
Of a smile.

I Love this piece for it encompasses so much, vibrant snapshots amalgamated to form alluring avenues that the reader is enticed upon. Fond Regards. Leggolas.

    Thank you again Leggolas. La Quena was a vegetarian coffeehouse on Commercial Drive in Vancouver BC. It no longer exists but in this poem and in the memories of the people who frequented it.
