lyrics

TIME AND THE CHILD

Tree earth and sky
reel to the noontide beat
of sun and the old man
hobbling down the road.
Cadence -

of sun-drowned cicada
in a child's voice shrilling:
... are you going man ?

Where are going man where
The old man is deaf
to the child.
His stick makes deep
holes in the ground.
His eyes burn to a distant point

where all roads converge ...
The child has left his toys
and hobbles after the old
man calling: funny man funny man

funny old man funny
Overhead the sun paces
and buds pop and flare.
