Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is revolution in honor of Bastille Day, which falls on
July 14th.
Today’s poem is a name poem for a disillusioned idealist.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Andrew was a soldier of the faith:
No one was more loyal or more true.
Despite the hard, rich texture of illusion,
Reality insisted on confusion,
Eviscerating much that Andrew knew.
What remains stalks him like a wraith.
