Is she
the demure cast-down Victorian
sculpture a bulkhead
holding back a future that is now
a past
a thing of
weavings of irregular bricks
(that could also be a bulkhead)
cemented with thick mortar
and a moderned marquee marked
Avenue Avenue
there is no parking, although no one
seems to have arrived or
everyone has left
or this is a theatrical set to practice
breath holding
or hand holding
the almost hip-swaying
statue might purl air
edge it with care
or this is premonitory
the solidified ghost of a girl
standing in as gate-keeper
a small three-tasseled purse
for her calling cards
hanging low.
