Best Poems Written by Dave Hughes

Gout

If there was a fountain 
that would cure all, 
but to someone else 
my illness would fall, 
knowing full well, 
under God’s eye, 
I would plunge my foot in 
and shout at the sky, 
“what eternal damnation 
greater can be?
And besides, I’m sure someone 
used this fountain on me.”
