Face Off

in your valley
looking passed
kneecapped 
mountains

facing the cave
below where
your cyclops
lives

not looking
at your medusa
moaning over 
your siren's song

i am no man
Willy Loman
Everyman but
perhaps

immoral
immortal
importantly
yet it is you

who 
are
multi
faceted

Glad you found a diamond. I too am a fan of “Death of a Salesman”
