NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 2

The prompt today is to write a poem that resists closure by ending on a question.  This doesn't actually have a question as the final line (or any line), but does raise a question, I think.


Old Man

An old man sits
in the park
on a day so blurred
one might not know
if it was morning
or evening.


The wind
ripples puddles,
blows
so comfortably cool
one might not know
if it was spring
or fall.

He takes a handkerchief
from his pocket,
lightly dabs his face.
I can't tell if he's
wiping away rain
or tears. - Jeff Barnes
