Big enough
to cow most
he broke down
the distance
for all of us
between loss
betrayal
their siblings
and naked terror
then
drove a sword
through crucial organs
real and imagined
to prove
we can survive
the truth
without smoke
or mirrors.
The poems here are from my collection, Lifeline, Volume One, 2002-03, and Volume Two, 2003-04. Each poem is identified only by its date. There is no other title. I will be posting a new poem each week.
