early morning ride
to the dump
on Gerber Road
an old poet
sings his poems
out loud
to the world

lost smells
hand-rolled cigarettes
cheap wines
wood burning stove
tallow factory

old poet sing
one last poem
entering Gerber dump
where everything ends

the last stop
for all poets
all their poems
everything burns
down to nothing
like a young poet's
dreams
