Apartment On The Third Floor
Poetry by Peter Menkin
www.petermenkin.com


Hot, heat, hot
they tell me.
The man who
lived here before says
hawks live in the trees.
Friends.
This apartment, top, third floor
one among hawks who build nests,
has sun.

This room gets
afternoon light;
morning, too,
streams in
creating simplicity.

The hawks sit in
the trees,
communing.
The world goes on,
in steel complexity.

Warm, here
just roof above,
and among
the trees in
company of hawks
who nest.
One hawk s
its on a branch,
lit by engaging
moments of sun;
spring newness
amid the gray
manmade world
that impedes
yet connects
the eternal life.

Pray.

Thank you
morning through
daylight to
night,
bright stars
for a promise
of goodness.
God.

Witnessing the light.
I remark to
you of divine
moments.

We enter
mansions
heavenly, just flesh
and spirit.
Ascending.

Friends.
