Cinema

chappy m'man
Framed,
the naked, unabashed glee
of a littleboy protected
by the fact that she, the blind girl,
cannot pin nor freeze him as a tramp;
ennobled by faith and feeling alone,
he has matched his character
to the white flower sprouting from his hand,
he has, in a lighted instance,
become a million times immortal,
because adore is crushing his heart
to a silent pulpy bask.
