Buenos Aires
Is lonely open spaces
Thrown ajar
To the eyelid,
To the shaken eyebrow
Of a poet,
A winded summer
Of metallic roses
Spinning
Without purpose,

You feel like it
And take the train,
Bring a notebook,
Blue pen,
Sketch
At Plaza San Martín,
Dawning gravel kicked,

Kids flipping coins
At the sunless beat
Of a car engine,

Chance is mysterious,
But people even more.

© Hadley B., Marblehead, MA

One of the many things I wrote in my notebook while traveling around in Buenos Aires.
