Watermark

 

An old vagrant

gone awry

Prognosis - rebel

Uncanny though,

no transgression

to report

Squatting in the firelight

from a flaming

burn barrel

A dim watermark

on a somnolent night

Who do you need, Nobody

Inspired by

BISHOP ALLEN &

THE BROKEN STRING

"Who do you need, nobody"

Your are strong

"they" say

invincible, possibly,

you can cut down trees,

split wood,

build open fires

against nighttime cold

You sit alone at supper

a self-cooked meal

with a single glass of

home-brewed wine

You count your memories

pearls on a string

smooth and white,

 each one

a solitary thing

You take to your bed

awaiting your dreams

Who do you need?

Nobody
