TO TODD MOORE Old schoolteacher cowboy poet Way back in your eyes Your pain saw stories And touched lives Lesser beings never noticed Or, noticing, chose to hide THE OLD BOHEMIAN PIPER BECKONS TO A CHILD OF THE SIXTIES An agony of happiness Is not to be dismissed-- Forsake assisted living, Screw your kids’ inheritance, Surrender what remains Of your pride and your life And dance, grandma, dance. Born in Detroit, Steven Gulvezan has worked as a journalist and a librarian. His fiction and poetry have appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Scythe, Red Fez, Danse Macabre, Heavy Bear, Gutter Eloquence, The Absent Willow Review, Battered Suitcase and many other literary publications.
