Come and See: Be Witness

Monday 27th August 2012

Assertion1:

Come and see

Young Alexander whoes shadow

is cast upon the arm of a man at rest.

Declares of him 'It is yours, just ask,

I will grant you all that you request.'

 

Assertion2:

Come and see, 

push upon the open door, as

three youngsters in an ally-way

sit outside, listen and wish for more,

while watching Charlie Parker play. 

 

Assertion3:

Come and see

the limp limbs pile 

which he must yet confront.

He, unaware of the camera's eye-

shows us the madness yet to haunt.

 

Response1:

Then come and see

as Alexander cast a shadow,

upon the sunbathing  Diogenese,

Alexander waited for his considered reply,

'move out of my light if you please.'

 

response2:

Then come and hear the music,

while Sheila Jordan schemed;

while wanting nought but song, 

while outside the Sudan club

she dreamed. 

 

Response3:

Then come and see

with the young Florya,

who ( having yet to fight) 

seeks to extinguish chaotic dark

and with advantage- the sunless light.

 

Resolution:

Just you Come

and See

Come and See

and Bear Witness.
