There are many ways to
Express manliness, your
Manhood is yours to show
As you wish. His is by a
Swagger, intentional not
Impetuous. Good looks
And height help highlight
Who he is. It's all there, as
Easy as sunlight. He's a
Cowboy on a city street.

Lost
That he's broken, and breaking
That's clear. It's less clear that
He's still there in his depth, to
The core. All his beauty and a
Touch of wisdom is perversely
Hidden in the fragments of his
Memory and thoughts. It's not
Clear he knows who he was or
Who he is, lost in the mix-ups
Of a mind unsettled to its core
Measures
What is the measure of a man?
Is it his worst or best behaviors?
Does he have to rise to better or
Can he fall to his lowest point?
Measure him by size, his weight
His girth, his height, the peak of
His hat. See if he must duck at
The doorway or bow at his knee.
Who shall judge him and why?
Taller than an oak, or more
Crooked than a tree trunk makes
No matter. Sharper, wittier or
Foolish or kind. Measure him
Inch by inch by intention and
By design. Let his measure be
Reflected in your love and care.
