Find him in the city crusts, tossed like a roach;
each passive glance—a shy laughing rhythm.
Those who stare strive to understand
like a speck in their eyes.
Find him by the lane named after him that follows
him like a sick tail
or in the widowed building that proposes to be his
grave palace.
Find him near the palms he fears climbing
for their veins stem the bed that begs him
sunk. On a lake glittered by sunset
find him crossing,
waved in, weighed
till he’s weightless
and time forgets.
