Glove of Light

RIP Michael Jackson

Arkay Evans
"Pop has died",
A journalist stated, and
Few decided,
To be as gracious as Oprah Winfrey, saying nothing,
Never adding to the hype,
Or to be a blessing for those
left to keep on living through losing the life
that gave the rhinestoned glove its light,

As this was not just The Big Time-Out
For a famous, troubled man-child,
This was the loss of a person, a father, a brother, a son,
the purest, melodious, Energy Height,
That some believe remains and is
The opposite of night

Rest In Peace, Mike.
