Here is the man
Here is the man
Whose old parade of memory
Still haunts his broken knuckle
Here is the man
Who moves with the vulgarity
Of an old desperado’s final breath
Set to the song of a grasswhistle
And the drumming of scorching dirt
Here is the man
Naked, alone, again,
Lying around with half your ghost
On a hard rag cot
The smell of starched sheets
Full with your beautiful laughter
and quiet sorrow
From the day before
and Your prayers
for a life
