Among the Crowd
by Richard L. Provencher

Hidden among ringing bells,
an avenue of colourful decorations

where a homeless man crosses
his heart with pain, heels
wearing thin, steps groaning

across another block, two bags
of Sally-Ann clothes heavy

hunger gnawing as he joins a
shopping flood of Christmas joy.

Pretends hes part of the excitement
shoes slapping, heart pounding
stomach aching, bags

lighter from each moment.
