THE IDENTIFYING FEATURES OF THE OLD MAN FOUND IN THE HOSPITAL CAR PARK

A history of dust
in his fingernails
A suitcase of sentences
gathered from friends
Arteries blocked
by a life well lived
A nervous system
of twisted synapse
Wormed veins
tattooing wiry legs
A cerebellum
curdled by time
A pulse waiting
for death
and the solitude
of soil
