Bodies in Motion
A Poem by Matt Gillam
Behind dark sunglasses
and behind my eyes
I watch
the bodies move
across concrete
and above the sands
that feed the waves
The bodies move
and I, sitting,
watch them pass
through dark eyes
and opened eyes
I am still
and they see me
in a glance
They move
(and I watch)
the bodies
behind my eyes

I like it and the others alot. Too bad for SMC that he’s leaving, but good for him. UC Berkeley is getting a poet who will be known someday I predict.
