Yank

Known for his winning ways,
he sometimes steps down into these lost regions
as though his footsteps could pin them earthbound
and right us for a while
It would seem he can
The smile that finally explodes
when it can no longer dam back song
is first sunshine
and then fertile rain
Like flowers, they turn their faces to him
then one to another:
___his presence makes a community
___of a collection
All but me,
___poisoned by envy
