Richard Dinges, Jr.
Black and White
Pebbles draw shadows
across rough concrete.
Rock solid determination
a mute audience
to sun's slow demise.
Night buries diversity.
All long slow wait
until the next sunrise
dispels darkness,
when all can start again.
Shadows return to describe
another path, these small
pebbles that drag long
dark faces, between
the light and dark.
