Another Poem

A flickering light licked their faces
Two men- one powerful, one noble
Held in embrace
Breath against breath
Face lifted by warm hands
"I want my life to mean something"
Overwhelming
Beautiful
Anguish
A most precious gift
A most dire desire
"I'm sorry I failed you"
Silence
He gracefully folds in an earthly descent
He is gently lain onto the plastic
Replacing what was lost
His gift has been given
"This is my apology"
