Not Quite All Our Yesterdays



Not Quite All Our Yesterdays
_________________________

Yet in saying what he didn't
He said so much to remind
Me of that cold detachment
Which in his book I still find.

Leaving out flesh on bones
Revealing nuts and bolts
And bones — piles of bones
Awaiting the incinerator of

Life as the robotic machine
Vamps, strums, and sucks
And plucks the drooping
Dead feathers of memory

From their roots so that
Cruel and cold clumps of
Shoots lick even colder
Yawning graves to grind

Us into a history untold.
