WHOAMAN (FOR LOVERS)

Whoaman
    and
dont’t dismiss
    this
        with
too much of
    a snicker as
though you believe
    the issue is
        only
that powerful tool
        of his...
One may provide
    a sheath indeed
as often as
        be
stabbed
    when the tremors
    of past ghosts
        and
    hidden goblins
    of the present
misaim us
    from our
mark
    and
make the
    target
far more
complicated than
    a
little hole.
