251 After a St. Vincents visit

Leaving Father in his hospital bed,
catching MetroNorth, home bound,
the Hudson flowing on behind me,
the tranquil dusk, sunset.

An old man sitting on a track-side bench,
in an eye-blink,
waved,
was gone.
The river, flowing on behind me,
the train, raceing on before.

The Old Man
frozen
in my memory.

The River, flowing to the sea.
