Move Along, Please
by Richard L. Provencher

A homeless man crosses his heart with pain
heels wearing thin. Each step
groans across another block, two bags
of donated clothes heavy

hunger gnawing as he
joins a flood of Christmas joy

pretends he's part of the excitement
shoes slapping, heart pounding
stomach aching
bags lighter with each new fantasy.

Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
