Good For Sule

The fathers torment the one son it falls on across warm deep

oceans

of moments and the man he must become

A whole world away eighteen brothers holding out while the tree

of importance waits but close and safe wife and daughters hear

no drums

or the voices of those he'll change

and if it feels good they must understand that the way had

opened

to just a man with a faith in all good people walking gently

knowing

just how wonderful it is

of the family portrait and a path unchosen both the roaring

lions

of emotion he knew one day would have to come

while a whole world away his old home is reaching out

with the hands of enraptured hope but more than that they hold

up
