Untouchable

You've made your name now

spoken with the made names

among the millions heaped

at the edge and slipping

but something's been lost

in this name you don't recognize

as the flesh begins to loosen

and the mind burns brighter

fashion be damned 

deeper and deeper now

in your tattered clothes

cast off by soldiers and you

spaced enough to work again

freed by the embracing enigmas



–weak tribute to an artist
