The Indoor Troubadour

from Symbolism by Bob Gaulke

lyrics

The indoor troubadour

mountains of blankets
valleys of thighs
visiting every inch
poems covering miles

duels in kitchens
exercise
river between
is deep and wide

shelves of skyscrapers
sea-carpeted rooms
nylon guitars vibrate
universal blues

voices arise
in the silence
billions online
indifferent

the indoor troubadour sings
songs of his people
to photos on the fridge
in dozens of apartments

songs of war and bills
subway stops
love echoing through
a round scrambled box

from a day lost to pointlessness
to an evening alone
songs in diaries
fill anonymous hearts

years uncertain
quiet desperations
inform troubadours
of their sacred vocation
