YOUNG MEN
handsome and heroic
become old men
with little to say
This grasped
Achilles declined
his own gray beard
I have friends who've been dead
longer than you've been alive,
I could say to them, but
it's only the boring truth
'Dread' has entered the horizon
and is traveling toward the sun
stepping from story to story
to slow down and examine
the corners and paths
of our rhetoric
while the painting reminds me
what love is capable of
things I am always near
forgetting
in my body and
elsewhere
