Eyes closed, blood smeared across the upper lip
And nose, mouth open, upper row of teeth
Visible, stubble of beard on his chin...
The powerlessness of love frames the frame.
These pictures used to be on the front page
Until there were too many of them, too
Often to be newsworthy: vote machines
Used by both parties, they perhaps serve some
Higher purpose -- democracy, for instance,
Whose life-blood, newspapers, his blood will circulate.
