Kimberly Heller Poet Free verse

The Hanged Man

Aye, to adjoin The Hanged Man
suspended from his mundane world
traveling a paradox journey
lost in a timeless underworld.

I see you, Hanged Man
with your hands tucked away
your eyes ever so peaceful
watching fate make way.

I hear you, Hanged Man
as you silently speak
"You must sacrifice for the greater good"
-but do so quietly.

I feel you, Hanged Man
like the passionate red you wear
to attain knowledge and mystery
one must remain patient
unselfishly.
