Old Lone Wolf

Just drop whatever you're a-doing
The old lone wolf is here to bark for you
The lonesomer I get
Well the lonesomer I yell

(Howls)

Just look way down in your pocketbook
Send me a quarter and get yourself a book
The hungrier I get
Well the hungrier I yell

Just drop whatever you're a-doing
The old lone wolf is here to bark for you
The lonesomer I get
Well the lonesomer I yell

Patricia Goedicke (June 21, 1931 –2006) American poet.
HOLE
For if this be corpse
or grave. If this be tooth or cavity
or dry lake bed. Or spewed
self pity or howl, no tongue left
to speak with. If there be the same
killing fields from the start:
the gallows in the playpen
glares up at us like a black
graffiti covered
stone the day after
the execution. Birds like heavy cigars, coffins
wheeling overhead.
If there be cracked eggshell
and no egg. Neither yolk nor white
If there be no kernel. No core
to the applehead. If there be love
when love is dead.
If the outer firmament be arched
skin only. If the noose embrace nothing
but cold ore and bowels,
where is the high famed convexity
of which this is the concave?
For this is not a private. Not a personal
crack in a sealed container.
Not a single
lost shoe: on the nation’s highways the owner
is long gone.
But whether this be outer
or inner rot, murderous
aimed or innocent kick, here
is an end to it, a hollow
depression which has no bottom
and no top.
