Falling for Godot

John G. Young

 

 

Between paraplegia

and foot-drop

you stand

beside three pillars,

father, son, and holy

[deaf as a]

post

no support

fall

from grace-

fullness,

yearning from empty

Gloucester restaurant

                        Job undone

glass tables

red and green

plastic chairs

vacant--

October sailboat

leaves

shore to un-

known, sees

more than

we know.
