Write this down.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The man I loved<\/span>
\n<\/span>Is dead. <\/span><\/p>\n

Write this down.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The man I loved<\/span>
\n<\/span>Was a good man.<\/span>
\n<\/span>A gentle man.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Others saw only his strength,<\/span>
\n<\/span>The large, taut biceps on his arms,<\/span>
\n<\/span>His massive shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw his fingers<\/span>
\n<\/span>Tender as they stroked my eyes,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Tender<\/span>
\n<\/span>As they stroked my wind, my cloud, my sky,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Tender<\/span>
\n<\/span>As he inscribed our names together<\/span>
\n<\/span>In the sand<\/span>
\n<\/span>Before the storm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Others saw him burn fields of ripe grain<\/span>
\n<\/span>With torches of foxtails.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw him light a slender candle<\/span>
\n<\/span> To give me light in the growing dusk,<\/span>
\n<\/span> Light to my star,<\/span>
\n<\/span> Light to my moon,<\/span>
\n<\/span> Light to a dream I didn’t know I had dreamt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Others saw him kill a lion.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Others saw him wield a donkey’s jawbone as a sword.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw him give life<\/span>
\n<\/span>To my whispers, life to my shadow,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Life to a prayer I didn’t know I prayed,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Life to the echo of a song I didn’t know I sang.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of all the many men I’ve known,<\/span>
\n<\/span>He alone never became a drunkard,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Never beat a woman,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Never slapped my face. <\/span><\/p>\n

He spoke to me in a quiet voice.<\/span>
\n<\/span>He looked at me with quiet eyes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the strong<\/span>
\n<\/span>Came forth sweetness. <\/span><\/p>\n

His hair was long.<\/span>
\n<\/span>His life was short.<\/span><\/p>\n

The man I loved<\/span>
\n<\/span>Is dead.<\/span>
\n<\/span>I threw his life away.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Write this down.<\/span><\/p>\n
