go ahead and stand before me in the shallow light
like a rising river
tempt me with the moon’s fierce
ascent even in blindness
as a homeless man
befriends whatever rebuffs the cold
that sneaks up on the helpless
who sleep in boxes
like skin to be shed in season
the lesson never learned
go ahead and stand before me in the shallow light

Re: go ahead and stand before me in the shallow light
I like the 2nd stanza best. I am puzzled by the closing stanza.
