    A Tribute

    I lay you to rest

    Not (with)out nor with(in) my breast

    But buried deep in my subconsciousness

    Where I erect a statue

    (A tribute for you)

    {De}Composed scrap metal

    Cold blue steel
    Gun-smoke gray

    (Cemented in rusted tears)

    Years shall fade away

    But time itself can not {de}face

    ...Nor erase...

    The shame you have bequeathed me

    Intriquing poem, delicate deliberate rhythm but leaves unanswered questions

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
