Joe Grieco

Bristlecone Pine

 

There goes another body part

One I’d hoped to use to write

My greatest prose poem, “Sorry”

 

I don’t mind dying

With a cellar full of

Undrunk dago red

 

And it doesn’t bother me to leave behind

A wall of books

Purchased new, still unread

 

There’s sex acts fantasized

But never tried

Not yet, not yet

 

But if it please Your Muse

I’d like to be excused from death

Until I’ve writ

The last word I came here to get
