David at 34

i)

he's still the same David
built of whispered promises
 earnest ones
lingering memories
regrets

yes
this year he's still the same

David

ii)

the monk robes suit him
he wears them as a rib
a joke - his joke
on me

he laughs and rubs
my grey temple stubble




To my good blessed brother.  

He is 34.

  1. Great double-meaning on "temple."

  5. Cut so well.

    Although, I admit, I though of King David for a sec, and perhaps the subject is a king anyhow.

    Cut so well.
