The Best Poem Of Derek Keck

The Old Couple

They sat together like that, two old-boned birds
on the edge of a wishing well,
wondering when the other would fall asleep on all the
years of park bench they had known as a four-armed
entity, wrapped in ice creams and bed sheets.

They sat together, huddled against the earth for an hour,
in the confines of love and death.
