He is a man
without a history yet
branded by it
intimidated by it
on occasion
tied to it…akin to
being tied to the
sun.

He is a man
susceptible to ruse
and
puzzle pieces; those
that fit;
always
fit…those that
don’t?

He is a man
fallible and weak and
strong and determined
and at once
both
and at once
neither.

He is a man
of no particular intent, yet
planning, scheming
waiting
to be happy
longing for the
end and
closure.
