Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGH AIJKLMNG OPQRSA

Passers ByA
Out of your many facesB
Flash memories to meC
Now at the day endD
Away from the sidewalksE
Where your shoe soles traveledF
And your voices rose and blendD
To form the city's afternoon roarG
Hindering an old silenceH
-
Passers byA
I remember lean ones among youI
Throats in the clutch of a hopeJ
Lips written over with strivingsK
Mouths that kiss only for loveL
Records of great wishes slept withM
Held longN
And prayed and toiled forG
-
YesO
Written onP
Your mouthsQ
And your throatsR
I read themS
When you passed byA
