Blue Monday
--Calvin Forbes (1945- )
Cotton eyes soaking up blood
All alone in Eskimo city
Cold and unsure, the music man
No earth angel, no sissy, brings
The night to its knees. Some-
Times he feels he’s been below deck
All his life chained to a stranger
Moaning blue monday where’s a calendar
Without weekends. Blue monday he moans
Where’s a place where the darkness
Is not a dungeon. Slipping sliding his way
To be alive, he mumbles to his boss.
His soul trails behind him like a sled.
Too weak to work he’s tired of playing.
He’s gonna rock on the river of time
And stare at God until he goes blind.
Calvin Forbes, Blue Monday (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University
Press, 1974), p.34.
