lyrics

Against a brick wall
of the methadone clinic, I found you:
sprawled in your shadow, your chin shining
with spit, afraid each open hand
would clench into a fist.
The others were in the square,
sated with being, but not alone.
I offered my hand.

You peered
into my palm like a zoo-goat,
expecting a ration
of kindness, maybe
a few corn nuts, sunflower seeds,
coins, a cigarette,
and were confused--as, in turn, am I--
by its emptiness.
