Momentary Light – a poem by Tim Dwyer

MOMENTARY LIGHT                                                                           
Stamford
 
Nearing sixty years,
as afternoon light
shines through the alleys
of the city buildings,
I cheer the ten-year-old boy
who races the bus 
to the corner of Hope Street
and wins.
