He stood tall
lean
A frame that would
put skyscapers to shame.
A russian man,
with rushing eyes
he spoke like a hurricane
and whispered like rain.
When asked what his
forthcoming was
he would merely nod
at some object nearby
and tell us of its wonderous powers.
We believe him because we were only
looking for a way out.
He wore white on most outings
brown occasionaly
but mostly while at the hospital.
He nursed every woman and child
back to life
and in twos.
Two men survived.
I once saw him alone
in a back street
whispering to a stray cat
that time would heal
all wounds
and all wounds
were just a sign
that life would go on.
They say God is white
and has a long mane
with a very pointed face.
Well show me the damn photograph
because I believe otherwise.
