Grace (A Silhouette ... A Distinct Witness To Fame)A Poem by Orlando G Gonzales III From the collection "Saldado Instryele"
Given to reconcile poverty with tension
redesigned to attract a new definition of defeat,
the response "...I followed to recover"
proved sweeter to his guests than the emergence of Grace
"a silhouette ... a distinct witness to fame"
taken to light,
presenting withdrawal as beauty
retained by the loss of blood and the failure of satin
to alleviate pain usually sought for attention.
"SHAME" (he repeats),
to dispute tonight's tears -
tonight's likely opponents
to tonight's prevailing veneer,
employs the crowd as the ploy to destroy her will to retreat ...
... to survive as his starlet.
