Being FRANK

How close a friend
idle in your shadow
watchful
very patient
-- circle the shadow with your toe
air placed below
in parallel to crush at defeat
-- shadowed circle lusting death
a doom
we must all repent.

When forgiveness comes
it's the tail-end
shabby and flared to seem larger than life
ourselves
what mattered
until dust settles
to collect.


- for you.
