I couldn't link it with Roadside Beggar, though I had written it earlier. Since it goes with Dusk I link it here.
Twilight reddens road.
Stops the vehicles traffic
Signal, long wait, cars.
Stretches, an arm for
Alms; a figure in odd rags
An old beggar, poor.
That live skeleton,
Impels the chap fat in car;
Disdain on his face.
The empty-bellied
With flesh nil on body, moves
To others in hope.
Draws a cyclist the
Beggar nearer. Tenders he
Some cash; dusk exults.
Grins the dusk with glee,
When the beggar in wonder
Caresses the cash.
