Time, 1820
Father Time leers between two old ladies as they peer into a mirror his angel wings still yet poised ready as he raises his broom to sweep them away out of life off the Earth their time has come one is deformed, diseased, hideous the other’s long nose hangs down over her toothless mouth but she’s relaxed realizing her youth has finally gone for good and remains resolved as if waiting for her wedding to the Devil himself in a sweeping white diaphanous gown. Michael Estabrook Michael Estabrook has been publishing his poetry in the small press since the 1980s. Hopefully with each passing decade the poems have become more succinct and precise, clear and relatable, more appealing and “universal.” He has published over 20 collections, the latest being Bouncy House, edited by Larry Fagin (Green Zone Editions, 2014).
