Goodbye
to the many faces of
Rickman...

Seagull
and Rasputin,
Les Liaisons Dangereuses
and lost but not lost Hitchhiker,
Diehard winter guest and
Sheriff of Robin's Hood;
the voice of God &
something the lord made;
Abeselom, the caterpillar
smoking
in private lives:
the close shave
of a demon barber,
Serverus Snape,
Mark Antony
and all good men
or by far, none.

I'll love you for Rachel Corrie,
a seminar into the secret
nurturing heart
in the eponymous role
of playing the many faces of oneself.
