History is visible on
Your face
Etched in tiny, secret cursive
Hints of who you were mingle with
Who you are
The young man churning like
A summer storm
Slick and handsome
Confident beyond reason
Now simply beyond reason
Fearsome and fearful
As the world changes moment
By moment
Armpit to kneecap
Hands to feet
Cornered
Slowing migrating to a
Lesser-known legacy.
