A Sunday Afternoon Poem

"5 Corners Mojo" by Winonah Harrington

5 corners Mojo

5 Corners Mojo
It's a trance
a poetic dance
Passing cross, turning to and fro

5 Corners Mojo
The salt of the earth and
all other faces winding in the web
The ferry calls to some,
Others newly destined enter vineyard haven
And there are those juxtaposed

5 Corners Mojo
Movie stars I blink my eyes
Just another face in a sea of moving vehicles all fated to the great
unknown

5 Corners Mojo
Do you have it? the spines of a porcupine, the sleek grace of a
panther, the litheness of a fox, the patience of a turtle?

They are all needed for 5 Corners Mojo
