I Too, He Declared, Have Pain

9/1/2019

(”I too” he declared “have pain. I too
Feel a twisted muscle, a creeping
Dissolution in my skull,
My honor wrecked, and I am sleeping

(”As my money is depleted, 
I look and see you in the other
Train, we’re running parallel
Your train is clean you do not smother

(”In cigarette smoke. But as for me,
My vision of the moon is blotted
Out, my own image in
The mirror flinches and is clotted.”)

(And since, since in a tenement
The faucet is rusted, the water will not
Run. Maybe you can know 
What that’s about, it seems such rot.)

(If I could borrow something from you,
Your eyeglasses, or your angle
Of the view, from here to
A boat where Arctic ice floes tangle

(In the water and the chill
Makes my bones wake up. The black
Rough mountains are softened with snow
And shall we paddle in the kayak?)
