April 24th

The Very Old

Man, stiff round globe head
hairspill right down from Arctic circle
that spins in wind, fears combs

Woman made of bear leather
fingers are guitar wires

and Gabe maybe Autistic
little glasses and pinchy
face turned slantways

approached. What are you playing? Gabe, oh Gabe
come back from trash bag romance
What song is that you're playing? oh your squinchy cheeks
come back

upthrusts of basalt from old time
peered at fluffed up hoot owl Gabe maybe Austistic maybe
the earthquake that made them
