Le Hinton ~ Poet
Waiting for Brion
ISBN: 1-979294-45-1
Reading Le Hinton's Waiting for Brion is like taking a walk with him. We talk of bitterness but walk on the bright side of the street. He's smart, not showy, and seems to know a lot more than his visceral, precise, spare words & private glimpses allow me to see. And we laugh, quietly, as much at ourselves as at the follies around us; part company a bit less lonely in spit of knowing, " there aren't many epiphanies."
** Gene Hosey former poet laureate of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
City Park/Rainy Dawn
my steps echo
between the drops
of rain
and the scent of morning,
matching the rhythm of
dawn in the city
while
riant squirrels chatter
about the rain,
the branches,
and the acorns that will
not fall fast enough
for the morning meal.
and
still, I wait,
weighing the utterings
and absences
of those who claim to
love city parks and
walking in the rain.
