“Poem 1 by Hubbard,” New Era, Aug. 1987, 26
Untitled
Who was that, singing,
just now I heard a
picture.
On the radio.
I know the face be-
hind those empty black
eyes they
don’t remember me.
I’ve loved that little
chair since I was hardly here
not much help at all.
The calm shallow wave
rolls softly upon the wet sand
chasing the seagulls.
To walk this path I
find a sky of deep set blue
I am twelve, again.
