An Old Man

(copyright 2025 by Michael Walker)

I am an old man

Dying from hunger

Starving

For the

Moon

And

The

Stars

Starving

For

The ocean

You

Once were.

I am an old man

Dying from hunger

Starving

For the

Sun

And

The

Hills

And

The vine

You

Once were.

I am an old man

Starving

In

A starving

Country

Dying

From a

Plentitude

Of things twice removed

From

Anything

At

All.
