Phantom
- for John
You ride deep into the night –
as air compressed,
no small blessing,
a whisper long foretold
and not forgotten in my soul –
as silent and solid
as your countenance.
Sharp, dancing.

You ride secretly to me –
a spirit-spark,
one high priest,
a child forever old,
a subtle builder of the whole –
as intricate and guiltless
as our contact.
Electric, baptismal.
