Lost Men

in a man's eyes
what is there
may not be ready to take in
the lighter broader air
of love and its long list
of desires of darknesses
but a woman may
if she crashes in waves
on waves hammering
draw him to shore
may have him feel
himself pounded out
and in between
and without himself
him the fear
him the care
him the boy
until a man sore
and lost pushes up
from that sand
to answer his heart
a spiral echo
of one woman's crashing wave
