The Web Poetry Corner - Hay Machine - Nursing Home

Nursing Home

by

Hay Machine



Semi-circle of cheap chairs
upholstered in maroon nylon
their wooden arms touching
worn piano last tuned
the year of the congress
hopeless

Admissions sister admits nothing
except the dry stained atmosphere
she can't deny
the dead and buried better-off
than these yellow ones impaled
on rubber mats
drying out
like geraniums

Statue mounted grimly on a dusty plywood shelf
plastic bucket mop and dirty tea-stained heavy delph
dried crooked yellow flowers with paper wire-supported stems
decorate the geriatric landfill

NEXT?
Why don't you look at And the Skies still Rain
