SUNDOWNING
I am geometry in slow motion
straight lines and right angles.
I move my body with great precision
in time and space decisions.
but with the falling of the sun
Affliction rises from the dark and deep
to violate my dignity again.
I become a puppet on a broken string
floundering in my flawed humanity….

Is this evening
When every human emotion including pain becomes worse? Hence the people who come to casualty in the night having had their illness all day!

you are that kind of man
who it's rare to find
one of your brand
you are that one man
the world ought to survey
how such great willed men
do still on earth play
