Short Poem: Change of the Guard

By 12 May 2022July 29th, 2026No Comments1 min read
At a wooden post office counter, a postmaster's light-skinned hand exchanges a polymer banknote with a Black customer's hand.

Change of The Guard

A brief reflection on friendship, loss and the changing seasons of life.

The postmaster flashes down four denominations.
A change of the guard as polymer bank notes
rapidly turns over to the bearer, grasping like –
blood circulating. Is it evol or love evolving?
Rest in Power my eternal friend.
