robert nye

robert nye

wrote poems about fresh bread tears and the moon's hair

words about singing and bedeviling his wife


as a novelist 

wanted to be remembered as a poet

think of all the vaunted things you want to be remembered for


would it be for silliness

imperfections and tall tales 

or how numbers ideals and guns mowed down people justifiably 



 a

poem 

owed


to whom?


to someone.
