You cast
off the last
shadows,
shackles
from long life.
You were a gift.
Crowds
were so drawn to your cause
you seemed permanently bowed
by their applause.
I thumb through my mind’s
snapshots to find
you performing again—
almost as if,
some way,
while I hold my breath,
you escape
death
for another day.
