    Donald 

    Rose, 
    now 
    might 
    I see you 
    with 
    your 
    thin face 
    and 

    buck 
    -toothed smile 
    and 
    pain of 
    rheumatism 

    and 
    a long black 
    heavy 
    shoe 
    for your bony 
    left leg, 

    limping 
    down 
    the long hall 
    in 

    Newark 
    on the 
    running carpet 

    past the 
    black grand 
    piano 
    in the day 
    room, 

    where 
    the 
    parties were, 
    and I 
    sang 

    Spanish 

    boyless 
    songs 
    in 
    a high squeaky 
    voice, 

    hysterical. 

    The committee 
    listening, 

    or 
    who lived 
    around the 
    room, 

    collected 
    the money. 

    Aunt 

    Honey, 

    Uncle 

    Sam, 
    a 
    stranger 
    with a cloth 

    arm 
    in 
    his pocket, 

    and 
    huge, 
    young, 
    bald 
    head of 

    Abraham 

    Lincoln 

    Bri
    gade. 

    Your 
    long, 
    sagged face, 

    your tears 
    of sexual 
    frus
    tration, 

    what smothered 
    sob
    s and 
    bony hips 

    under 
    the pillows 
    of 

    Osborne 

    Terrace. 

    The time 
    I stood on the 
    toilet 
    seat, 

    na
    ked, 

    And you 
    powdered 
    my thighs 
    with calamine 
    against 
    the 
    poison I 
    ate, 

    my 
    tinkered 
    and shamed 
    first 
    black 
    curled hairs. 

    What 
    were you 
    thinking in 
    secret of 
    art then, 

    knowing 
    me, a 
    man already? 

    And 

    I, 
    an ignorant 
    girl, 
    a family 
    silence 
    on the thin 
    pedestal 

    of my 
    legs in the 
    bathroom. 

    Hitler 
    is 
    in eternity, 
    is 
    with 

    Chamber
    lain and 

    Emily 

    Bronte. 

    Oh, 
    I 
    see 
    you walking 
    still, 
    a 
    ghost on 

    Os
    borne 

    Terrace, 
    down the long 

    dark 
    hall to 
    the front 

    door, 
    limping 
    along 
    with a pinched 
    smile in 
    what 
    must have been 
    the silken flower 
    dress, 


    welcoming my father, 

    the 
    poet, 
    on 
    his visit to 

    Ne
    wark. 

    See 
    you arriving 
    in 
    the living 
    room, 

    dancing 
    on your crippled 
    leg 
    and clapping 
    hands as 

    a woman had been 
    accepted 
    by the 

    Demirite. 

    Hitler 
    is dead 
    and the 

    Marites 
    are not 
    a business. 

    The attic 
    of the 
    past and 
    ever
    lasting 

    minute are 
    out 
    of 
    print. 

    Uncle 

    Harry 
    sews his 
    last 
    silk stocking. 

    Clare quit 
    inter
    pretive 

    dancing school. 

    Bubba set
    s a 
    wrinkled 
    monument. 

    old ladies 
    won't 
    plead 
    for their 

    new babies. 

    Last 
    time 
    I saw you 
    was 
    the hospital, 

    pale 
    skull 
    pro
    truding 
    under 
    ashen skin, 
    blue 
    -veined 

    unconscious 
    girl 
    in an 
    oxygen tent. 

    The war in 

    Spain has 
    ended long 
    ago, 
    at 

    Rose.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
