there's no shorthand for the disappointment
little black spots on an x ray
held against the light a boxer's fracture
once a clenched fist
now a mark of defeat
give in
just give in
you're not what they say
a short love letter written in the pavement
initials, organ, more initials
well intended written with conviction
back when that meant whatever that meant
give in
don't give in
you're not what they say
I've never seen so much blood
you were a mountain of a man transformed to gravel and sand
from somewhere so dark
to some where so bright and sterile
you're not what they say
