the young man of my skin
looking for love in the wrong boxes
through windows without conscience

the diddler of digits counting
breathing rhythms as a scheme
to draw the winning hand of lovely

and then some afternoon in the windy
my youthing was shaken down
my trees were distant safety then

I was slow enough to gather moss
in the wrong boxes again but visible
easy to grab with handles

a useful tool for the shady side
when lovely things were unattended
in sleepless and lonely gowns

under the cover of other men's awnings
