“Portrait Study – Old Man”
By monkeezgob
From deviantart.com
fingerless gloves
work the keyboard
vain attempt to
arrest the escape
of young warmth
living old is a
damned cold affair
joints as stiff as the
bones they connect
with mute cracks of
articulate grievance
a mind grown more
vacant from losing
more truth than its
patience can find
living old is a
damned small affair
all the hardy
experience sun
and moon intrigues
of global adventures
now shrunk to the size
of an overstuffed chair
heat of passions
degraded to embers
fingerless gloves
work the keyboard
unbusily living by
touch-punching
poetry such as it is
Perth Words... exploring possibilities.
