Whisperer

Overweight, balding, crooked nose from hockey,

a bump on my left temple, close spaced hips, wide back,

strong like a ape with a tight skinny voice,

books, books, books piled everywhere, Mann,

Plato, Gass, the Tao Te Ching, Kafka, Rilke,

and a gift with the horses, giving back their minds. 

To do the same for people because we have all lost our minds,

 but, it's much harder.

Impossible dream

for me to restore the lost

immortality
