Four Short Poems By Thomas L. Vaultonburg Written On a Spanish Olivetti Studio 45 Typewriter

My fellow writer David Pedersen let me borrow his Spanish Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter, so I took it to the 317 Art Collective and wrote these poems. 

Return

The onion-skin paper

Disappears into the black

Void of the roller like Persephone,

And re-appears on the other side

Like a blanket of fresh snow

No one has pissed on yet.

Keys

I finger the keys

of my red

Spanish typewriter

until she gushes

forth this poem

Upkeep

Everybody wants to

ride my bicycle,

but no one else knows

how to oil the chain

Leaks

for fifty years my

heart and roof leaked until

Death fixed them both
