This week's poem, "October," is that same old story: it's over, but no one can admit it. It might be the first time I've written a fictional narrative poem. The characters and situation is invented, but I think we've all been there.
The song this week is from Freddie Hubbard's Here to Stay. A track played in honor of my dad who would have turned 81 on October 17: "Father and Son." Personnel include Hubbard (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Cedar Walton (piano), Reggie Workman (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

ReplyDeleteThat may be your best poem yet. It's pure Livingston--pure America. Here's a response:
The cigarette shows
that her face is wet, even
though it's not raining.
