Docents

Hoods yawn proud metal cenotaphs
Silent sentinels of the past
Mute guardians to yesterday
Yesterday’s discarded heroes
Knights errant bone on concrete ways
Soldiers borne in strength and number
Headlights dim in rusted slumber
Sleep in majestic memory
Oh sleeping Paladins of yore
That shed sweet tears of fantasy
Bitter sweet tears coalesce and run
Lacquered dreams in a jealous sun
Melt in naked veracity
Naked plumes of heliotrope
Witness to the blind reverie
A boy I wandered blind and free
Adrift in nameless mystery
Seeking a vainglorious truth
They spoke of truth of life and death
Metallic mentors of my youth
