Rob Schackne #1033 - "Famous for a poem" (redux)


Famous for a poem
written when he was drunk
he doesn’t like it now
its edges curled
trodden wet leaves
he takes a walk with umbrella
in ten minutes sees the marvelous
it reminds him of prayer
a great love, a missed flight
an arrow, a bed, a blister
his film is screened
once, twice, three times a week

he wishes he wasn't famous
several people watching
one gentle soul claps

one gets up and leaves
there's a kind of organ music
