UNDER ARMOR

Man with a hawk eye standing in the rain
Won’t give it up
Mud eats ankles like a pink complexion
On the bank of a river
Fabric under fabric
Red under the armpit exposed as the silver is turned upside down with a dip into the water
Afraid of a smile for a flower
Which fans out like a blue look under a sweaty brow
Hot in the rain
Under the chin the shadow grows tight and small as a star
