Lady in the Park by Danny P. Barbare

The elderly lady in the park

Is reading a book while

Sitting on a bench. In

The wind, she is not

Audible. But the book

Is black, and she seems

Sincere, as if it is a bible.

And nothing seems less

Foreign than the songbirds

That sing and even the crow

That caws as the religion

Of lovely spring is in the air.
