Stranger

A stranger
Down the street
On the roof
No more

In the air – out in space
Tacked to the sky
Frozen for an instant
so I could see

Shock, disbelief
Run to where he fell
bent and broken, alone
Who is he, will he make it

Wondering -
no news
Driven to know, to hear
How he is, is he alone

Act of will, of submission,
Of service
Called me to the scene,
to his room

A mother’s son
Dealing with
another challenge,
another test
