HERO

( for AR )

you come to me
           long    long after
                 later
past  scaring sun
      burning sand
                cancerous torture
                               butchered leg

past
      killing fields     Great War
your soldier boots
       bloodied with scraps of
                                       politeness

father
     grandfather

heart of child      reconciled      
         hands
              touching   
         mouth
               kissing       
         him     not humble       not hidden
            flush violet out of his bud
                beauty of milky stars Golden Way

joyous Astarte
      all year offerings
                summer ways

It has been  found again.
What has?-----Eternity.
