59th Street Ramp - Neil Ellman





(after the painting by Richard Pousette-Dart)


They come and go
from the other side
of somewhere else
in slow scrawls
crawling out of the hollow end
of a shadow
between this world and the next
here and then
back and forth
drifters on an indifferent road
half asleep, half alive                                                  
halfway between
consciousness and appetite
they who are us
dread
the long slog home.


 Twice nominated for Best of the Net, Neil Ellman lives and writes in New Jersey. Hundreds of his poems, many of which are ekphrastic and based on works of modern art, appear in print and online journals throughout the world, as well as in nine chapbooks.
