Sad Waltz Poems

All within the taiga glade,
Their raiments gilt in comely shades,
The burgess shrives vagrant souls.
A garth of god for men alow.

Whereinto the roots may grow,
We wayfarers...

Moonshine, diesel fumes, and chicken wire. 
Laundry hangin’ on the line. 
Bible open to the Book of Job. 
Backyard thick with prickly pine.

A
prayer
I
say for
you today.
I pray
for
your health
peacefulness
angels to watch
over you.
My love
I
give you.
May God be
with you
each
waking
day.

Structures
with controls.
Some telling 
others what
to do.

"Shall
we waltz?
Could

by my
side?
We'll kiss
a sad world
goodbye.
Come 
sing with
me."

So long ago... circling them... so blithely forgotten

As tears fill her eyes
Stricken with cancer
She's now paralyzed

She asks for her husband
To sit by her side
He kneels down to...

A head swings to and fro
Inside a waltz repeats a loop
Outside the world careless goes by
His foot swings like a pendulum
Banging...
