Are those in power just like me?
Do they sometimes lay
in twisted wet sheets
the rhythmic pulse
the radiant heat
lulling them to sleep?
Have they found themselves
near inexplicable tears
holding a child?
Have they knelt and touched
the hands of the wise
and said goodbye?
The sweetness
The fragility
The warmth
powerful
vulnerable
immediate
What twisted mind
could admit such beauty
then order its destruction?
