My Father's Last Poem

SHOW RUN DOWN My Dad's favourites: Joe Glazer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov5kQXAGhow UNTITLED POEM ON A FOUR PAPER PLATES By Raymond Charles Lewis (My dad) The big dipper is too low in the sky to see above the trees, - emmense, tiny clusters and mist of the milky way, A cow almost brays or honks, lapping + lap + soft slapping the water, - across the water. the cow almost brays were it only this yet ever pressence I know, this grow-up here around these stars- the cool of the late autumn - the wood fire - today the young preacher talking sensible death on the radio, and today a picture, a photograph– I never so much as touched her hand. and her wedding picture has turned me back, so deep inside against the outside world, I want to go again away, I want to wak again alone. I want to kneel someplace & be beat to death. Moved on waters and asleep on land. Here now I remember a feeling. RESOURCES INSIDEOUT PODCAST - Stephanie Boulet.
