Portrait of a Man
This portrait
Spread out before me
Of a man,
What a man could be.
Arms outspread in adulation,
In a radiant embrace
Of the world, the sky and sea.
Blistering sun and wind,
Cracked earthen cheeks
Receive teardrops of rain
A sacrifice of pain.
This fatted calf,
This wolf-in-sheeps-clothing.
Not lion, but jackal
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Stealing babies in the night
Not lamb, but still a victim of industrialized slaughter.
The circle turns again.
Held up with
Nails he hammered in.
An appetite for his own
