The Poem
 
 
  
 

You are the pirate of tears and old palms
scared you won't be sacred
and solemn enough for us,
that we could exist
without your wanderlust spirit
and will only give you a drop
of time when you need us at the brim
to peruse your words that scratch
like hay but are picked
with the precision of a child
selecting his Sunday best
minutes before sunrise
