Brother From Another Mother

That guy
The one you called phantom
Then fled from
A gentle giant meek and strong
His convictions -
Voluntary surrender to get better
He oozes love
Like muscular Mandiba
Listen with your inner ear
He's your brother.

Not a ghost of a chance
No weight weighs him down
His love behooves, sans avaunt.

I like the intimate feel of this piece. There is a distance combined with a familial knowing.
