TV in Autumn for Elvis Valentine

Somewhere between Liberace
and Andrew Lloyd Weber
lies Elton John who proves
it’s good to get old and command
young men on cellos around you
and wear orange wigs O rocket man
as if it was still 1963
while I watch here in 2013
a leaf  land in the crotch
of the pomegranate tree
one of several hundred falling
exact as a fig leaf
which in hiding only makes
it more exciting
O naked tree of man
