Tryst

Crippled,  old
Man opens  the door 
Prattling on
Arthritis.
Detritus to ears craving
Dearheart's sweet giggles.

    I could almost hear the Saturn passage of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" as I read this piece. It's very descriptive.

    Gustav Holst's "The Planets" is not something you read. You listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyhqlR9CxFs
