The Specter
Richard Evans

my brother died today while eating skittles
a convenience-store his last public appearance
I took for granted that he would breath
for at least fifty more years slowly rhythmically
the way he walked that teenage swag
unbeknownst to him a specter was lurking
fueled by disdain armed to the teeth
emboldened by a newfound sense of invincibility
under the watchful eye of shadows
he took a stand my brother did
along with his final breath
