Poetry
Archive of Yellow Afternoons
August 22, 2026
Tuck away at the corner near a low wall
an aging wheelers stall goes back
into languid days
unfolding,
A wall clock somewhere strikes ten,
sitting at the wooden bench, an old man
staring lazily
at the archive of yellow afternoons.
Leaving him behind with a leather bag
bursting at the seams with sad memories,
imagine as if he is
locked up from all sides.
Crossing the empty platforms
when does he know, time is up.
The end of a journey
he has never started.
