Observance

Posted on October 22, 2023 by John Biscello

From the series, Japan Poems.

Streets,

vivid in character

and starred in the calm lore

of desolation and subtext,

train the wanderer’s interest

to stop, notice, gaze

deeply at or into causes

warming us to the effects

through which we marvel

at curiously intimate lengths.
