D.E. Steward

Broken

After speech slurred chronic double vision
Able to walk only by pulling himself along
Middle fifties stroke patient family man
Profuse amiability staunched future fear
Innate klutziness intensified as his wife 
Cheerleads some slight incremental gains
Sliced down the middle in four dimensions
A blurred incomplete photocopy of himself

 

D. E. Steward has been a small press writer since he started publishing in the Sixties. His main work in progress is a month-to-month continuous cycle begun in 1986.
