Mark Gilbert – USA (PJ32)

the old man
remembers his walking stick
forgets his shoes

pressing every button
twiddling every knob
sex museum

coronavirus
becoming
a neanderthal

lockdown a simple knot from memory

60th birthday
getting closer
to the speed limit

sometimes it takes
a whole lot of nothing
haiku moment

hand on my heart
words to an old song
come pouring back

kin packed and gone
a wrinkled black dress
alone on the bed
