HIS WORDS (ARE GONE)

His words are gone

Gone

gone

..................

Go tell it
to the proctor:
he's dead again

His fingers
are unresponsive
to ideas
of spring,
(oh! that darling little dear)
change,
in the affirmative,
and protest.

He has only these few words
on his foreskin:

Take me there .
Take me there.

Take me there-

A haiku incomplete
in his left hand's
working fingers.
