The Fall Of The Honest Man Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Fall Of The Honest Man



THIS IS for you
an honest
dignified man
whose word
is steel
whose fire is pure

you shall fall
as God allows it
but it shall
be as gentle as
a yellow leaf
and the breast of the river
receives you
well
for there
dead must you
be
but full of
sweet dreams
on sleep

as tender as
the shower of rain
on the green grass

early
morning
so quiet...
