Not a peer to the gods
As a child of the sun
Yet worship the legacy
As Hyacinthus loved Apollo
I carry the kindness
Like a drop
Where hawks fly
Untroubled
The past principles of
Sex, the timely art,
A hero
I was to shanties
And books
On shelves
Read the rest of the poem Show less
In old houses
demolished
For
Hedge fund babies’
Concrete cribs
This mind will perish
In graceful darkness
Quiet the the clock
Quiet the fools’ riot
Twilight tucks you in

"Numb" by @M. Browne
"I really feel a sense of loss and the feeling of being forlorn. It communicates a lot of the flatness in life after love has left. I hope you continue your journey writing." - March 2025

"Exile" by @Words Ablaze
"This is good enough to be published. It would look good as an opening to a book, even. I might be little biased because a similar situation came my way not long ago. "Would that I could." I love it. You're strong, decis…" -

on why to live with the old from @Geezer
"Lavender has expressed the very thoughts of your work right out of my head and put them in the comments as if they belong to her! I guess I'll have to be more vigilant. Must be I missed out on the [patchouli] thing, too…" -

on why to live with the old from @Lavender
"Hello, Stewart, Wonderful title. I like the form of this - the three sections lending to different phases of life, different perceptions of aging. I also like the enjambment and lower case. It enhances the bare and spar…" -
