Lost

streetlight
Lost.
Wandering aimlessly.
Going round and round.
Tired.
Feet, restless,
unabled to get attached to
any piece of land.
He had lost his wings
in a subway car
doors closing.
He walked.
Lost.
He snoozed at times
hidden in the narrow shadow
of a streetlight.
On his side.
As world is seen
walking on the edges.
Standing side on.
As things with two faces.
As half-light.
He piked up river glasses.
Licked and dragged pieces.
Even. Smooth. Worn.
He picked up things about to fall
and light things that floated.
He kept nobody's things.
Memory lapses.
