a portrait of the fundraiser as his own grandfather (a poem)

Posted on July 14, 2009

When all my winters hang about my brow as a crown of silver thorns, and my eyes languish above bags of too many days with too little sleep, and my shoulders sag under the weight of years and years of grocery bags, and my speechless mouth hangs open like a broken drawer, awaiting its next pill, and my breath rasps like wind in the overstuffed gutter of the house where we used to live, and the buttons are misaligned on my shirt, cock-eyed on my diminished frame, and my pants pool about my ankles in mockery of my former height, what will you see in my foggy eyes that do not know your face? Will you know that I am not in my right mind, but also that I am not my mind, but a man? a man broken, perhaps, but a man yet, and a man who loves much,though mostly what he loves is the you that his eyes have never seen, but that has always been, and will always be, despite what failing eyes can't see?
