Visitation

by

Rick Bandy

Smaller than I had ever seen you.
Deserted envelope
In a satin lined box.
You’d already left the building.

Hands crossed on your chest
Dreamless closed eyes.
I laid my hand over yours
Stunned it covered it completely.
Powerless, you seemed frail.
The angry-voiced towering giant
Was no more.

I put on one of your suit coats later,
Surprised that the mantle I borrowed
Was too small to fit.
And I wondered
When did I become larger than you?

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Untitled
