A Space

The magic laid in the space between two buildings

You could only see it in one spot,

A crack, that revealed the future.

You could predict the traffic

The arrival of a bus,

And the color of the next upcoming car,

A whole block through,

Only a second or two, but still magic.

Just a sliver of truth

While talking with a friend,

Until the building was sold  

And it came to an end.

An interesting and atmospheric poem here Amanda...:)

I love the way this develops......it's kinda like a mini-movie....almost supernatural....

Until the building was sold........and it came to an end....

Thanks for sharing this ...

Space offers opportunity. That is what I glean from this short poem. Your lines gave me the opportunity to pause and ponder.

Thank you Chris, this was a true story, my co-worker and would go out for smoke breaks and you could see through a sliver between two buildings for a whole city block, but only if you stood in an exact place. One day one of the buildings was demolished and the magic space went away. Hopeful to find more magic out there and thank you again...
