Halting

" Halting "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

In a halting monotone
awakening to see
narrowing identities
shrinking to a squeaky-
voiced pixie uncannily
lifelike with real sweetness
and sublimity empathetically
attempting to redeem
a veteran's wartime drear
with a feckless eclecticism.
