Old man Savarese

By japrile

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Old man Savarese walks his battered dog beneath the wistful grace of early morning light. Cigarette dangles from his lips reminiscent of his sailor's youth, his age-worn face set in a toothless grimace. Old man Savarese his spine made wayward grappling with demons, his eyes fixed downward, moves within the air of his own ceaseless mutterings, curses the life from which he dangles and the dog that is his only solace.
