The Honor Guard Steps Up
you teach us
you teach
us new
meanings
to breathing new
meanings
to speed new meanings to
98.6
degrees & to keeping it to
98.6
degrees you teach us
the sum of the
distance in
hours
in
the hours of being
discovered
unswung
to
shouldering this
moment
like a soldier-
trained honor
guard you
teach us left
right
left right
tight
in
the concave soffit
of
the cheek, in
synchronized
time
the polish of it
you teach
us brass
the
flat pall falling
precisely
at the sitting-
down-eye’s
line of
sight,
a line so true
if it were music
it would
move too
a
step a step a
step a step a step
at
a time the body
your body
paused in its
bonehold
to
begin in
another
body
and
another body
and
another body
hold hold hold
present
blow out
newly corporeal
