At the Library

At the library today:
a man with his head down, asleep.
After all, the sky is grey
through all the windows today,
and quiet promotes the way
tired eyes would like to sleep.
The library is warm today;
my head envies him his sleep.

behold: the subject (iPhone photo)

If you read my poem yesterday, you’ll notice that at the end I rambled about being at the library writing and how a man had his head down on the table near me. I closed the tab and wrote a poem about it, in the same style (triolet), so while we are on the subject: here it is!

Writers: y’all check out and join in Poemorama!
