Street Roots • Jan. 8 -1 4 , 2 0 1 6 Poetry Page 14 Saturday Market So Many Things Come and Go by J. Minerva Davis by Roy Cochran Saturday in Portland on Tuesday; the market glistens in geode lights brighter than the tree. ’ Things lost, beckon, to the mind of man ... Love, the Ark of the Covenant, lost lives ... and ambitions. Many more things, of things that are “had,” will be lost And many things are recovered. Yes, even the Ark may one day soon show up again. However, as such, it is insignificant For similar items, having served their purposes, have gone on; as if to pass away: to represent greater losses in search for gain. I see the sun again; so long since I’ve seen you, my friend. My festive red rain trench; a saxophone sings noir. A homeless woman peddles her wares alongside a rented shop, but nobody cares, ju st as lovely as the re s t The holiday has come early to this monochrome old new world beneath neon street lights. Portland ... by Shawn Andrew Nelson I turn the comer. Suddenly, dubstep.. I sit in awe; in silebt repose graced by the beautiful City of Rose. The ebb and'flow; tustic-^alive; I Thickened by culture and an elegant vibe. Tiles of Brick, where the .city does sleep; Enchanted by shadows of a fallen maple leaf. Open the shy. she cries every night; her tears, the rain-salty delight ... Night Clubs, street Drums; A musicians’ haven, it becomes. . Opening doors, the tinker of a grand, all enhanced by a master’s hand. My love implores; her love defines; I desperately seek; her petals ... Divine ... Keep Portland festive. And weird. Mostly weird. SB At Health Share, we believe good health is more than what'h'appens , inside y o y rd o d h r1^ office.
