Ron 2
His eyes culled purpose from faraway
sequels. His countenance was our cerate.
His demeanor never stirred the stillness
to divulge its rage and resentment.
One could be with him, wordless. His
being: like a golden oldie.
You turned to be the brisker one:
beating me to the sidereal spread.
The others were lighter: when you charged
towards the check after our eating out adventures.
Your current slip leaves me without a limb:
you’ve no idea what it is to lose a son.
