The Replacement

He Came In Quietly

To The Office

Coworkers’ Laughter

Ringing Across The Halls.

Head Down He Struggles

To Make Eye Contact

His Ordinary Experience

Troubling Him

It Was The First

And Last Time He Felt

The Lighting Of A

Great Idea

There, At His Desk

Stood A Woman.

His Office Things Stacked.

Papers Shredded.

Yen Yang

Black And White

A Completed Circle

He Bows His Head

And Kisses The Ring

From The Hand

Of The Angel Of Death
