maybe my hands would shake
faces I don't recall
each of these finer points
lost on the whitewashed wall
but at least
it gets to be a choice
look at me closely
you can see
just how broken
a man can be
assisted by those who know
the memories I used to be
suffering grips all my days
taut like an elegy
look at me closely
you can see
just how broken
a man can be
still love, still grief
still a tragic energy
but I need control
death will bring me
a calming neutrality
if you let me go
and make a choice
look at me closely
you will see
just how broken
a man can be
look at me closely
you can see
just how broken
a man can be
