The Old Couple Poem by Derek Keck
The Old Couple
Rating: ★5.0
They sat together like that, two old-boned birds
on the edge of a wishing well,
wondering when the other would fall asleep on all the
years of park bench they had known as a four-armed
entity, wrapped in ice creams and bed sheets.
They sat together, huddled against the earth for an hour,
in the confines of love and death.

Bit of mystery I find in this, and certain intrigue, perhaps like an inside joke might be to an outsider. The tones and phonemes resound quite musically in a pretty little way. Though I don't understand the four-arm reference, ice cream blankets, or the connection between love and death. But I've never been the brightest bulb in the bunch so it must be something I am overlooking. Great melody, this.
