so sorry
sonny
tears
ended
water's night
they coroner
heard only seas
come from skull
from times
you spent
on bench
gazing
out at
ocean
to find peace
you found
no peace
at all
sonny
far from saint
hoods
but then
all hoods
of saints
augustine stole
& other
committed crimes
transformed in scripture
so
only sonny
sinned
welts
scars
crossing back true
cross
sonny liston
a man
is a man
sonnt
i'm sorry
you were met
by savages
in silk suits
who helped
put hot hypodermic
into your arm
so you would
know knot
of sleep's sleep
sorry sonny
hoping
papa legba
took you
by hand handed
you harminica
hum old hymn
or hottific history
tou left
you left
young man
for meridians
where you were
not treated
like
beast
black
magnificent
truly
magnificent
man
know you
trmbled
imagining
endless death
but it came
quicly down veins
direct
to heart
halted you
before left cut
cut cosmos
in half
soul's sweat
song's sleep
