Banished

broken
artifacts and tightropes,
father's legacy:

sweet aromas, pipe racks,
22 carat cufflinks, lists that tilt

to the left. Right is dangerous.

Sit me down under Tiffany lamps,
explaining the delight of the altruist.

his

thick hands, handsome fingers
firm chin, such an imposing position

for a diplomat. Enough!

Training hardens, weakens,
overtakes, underscores

too much input,
sensory overload

not lost, merely triple-crossed:

we know who we are;
I know who who you were

before you vanished
