Like Spent Heroes Poem by Khristian E. Kay

Like Spent Heroes



we all have heroes
even some we don’t understand

so I found myself spent
when I heard Marvin had died
both of us home for the holidays

I saw that fight

shot by his father

I’ve seen that argument

fathers seem to have a way
for killing off talent

I know I’m a father


(1986)
