   seventy years scorpio style

   (for todd moore on his 70th birthday)

  seventy years of life

  survived

  stripped to the bone

  stabbed to the spleen

  thrashed into shape

  spitting

  clawing

  exclaiming

  using it all

  even the gristle

  no apologies

  no whining

  no half ass bargaining

  with the devil

  seventy years of life

  lived in fire walking style

  pen as machine gun

  peppering blank walls
