Prominence.
High step,
Raised chin,
Squared shoulders,
Straight back.
The simple elegance,
Of words unspoken,
Of the pure existence of the needlessness,
Of voice wasted.
Black eyes unsmiling,
A firm, strong grip,
Towering, apparent height,
The flash of a smile,
Belonging to the thousands,
But vacant to his own.
The light of morning,
Breaks on everyone,
But he is up before the dawn,
Haunted by the burden,
Of a country.
Gait confident,
Pure presence,
An open face,
And a smooth wit.
Prominence.
