STAND

STAND
1989


Stand
Dissect with vision discreet, calm and cool
Vision beauty stands as faith
Does not stand as silhouette
It is definite
Shadows from a thousand judging eyes suggest my wonder
My gaping jaw
To embrace cold marble pillars?
Words as granite?
Chiseled in space and time?
Stand
The embrace of Odysseus
His elusive lover
My myth
Where I make my final stand
