Views From Here....

the afternoon sun
leaves its last light cast upon the dusty leaves of the mango tree

the sea is calm and from a distance it hardly moves
as though it has given all its waves away to the passing winds

a red truck parks beside a cemented fence
below it so much of gravel and unwanted fragments of rocks

as i finish another work deciding upon the
liberty of this man wrongfully accused

of a crime which he denies as always
as not having committed it

i am pondering now how to see the truth beyond all these
views.
