His coming ought to rekindle
Instead all have dwindle

Off course...

Went nearly blind
And  almost fainted and died
He has no hands,  eyes 
Nor feet

my eyes laid bare 
circled and squared
at the feet
of a Vitruvian man,
the one uniqueness
in my possession,

He could bestow uninterrupted time on his family.
