SCAR CHART

Radiant old men in profile
beards turned to solar interference
hear a deeper whisper from the falling hail
when love finally came it was not a seizure
the fountains ran as ordained and it was a brokenness
the same shiver from root to claw
at sunspots in a thicket, parked
as firmly in their bodies as they can be
the old men don't call to the young men
but let them watch, the wiser ones
to learn the poise
as against a great current
