The old American of fall's skin
taught songs.
But why does the steel not meet the sky...
How do you sing
Without taking time?
How do you liberate, with autumn in your gut, and
How do you jump with just a dual anaphora?
The leaves you remember
Were cosy pillows. Guanciale, but not for
Pasta.
How does one jump
With no special shoes? Or run fast enough
To ask the crowds to rise
And critics to be arisen
Like a colossus, the people, and so forgotten
Compressed, eradicated-
And whatever is left of the song
Or the poem
Can start its slow decadence, falling
Piece by piece!
Old man, will I forget your name and your hair?
Till then, let me listen, while I write and forget.
