I’m Doin’ Alright

Brian Looney

He took my hand and clasped it, held onto it hard. His eyes grew misty, didn’t spill, drank in life and tears. His eyes grew misty, overborne.
He had my hand in bondage,
reluctant to release.

But when he did, a tightened face.
Painful, artful portrait :: one handclasp and then no more.

I asked him how he was.

He said I’m doin’ alright,
aHe said I’m doin’ alright,
averted his eyes and bobbed his head,
assured himself of it.

He said I’m doin’ alright,
and his haunted cheeks,
and his quaver-voice,
and his sluggish repetition.
