On the day Gotham lost its hero
I debating between mac and cheese
and potato salad
At a picnic.

On the morning The caped crusader fell
I hung up my 1989
Michael Keaton
BATMAN
Action figure.
The first one ToyBiz ever made.

I hung it on the wall
Behind the door.
I wanted him to watch from the shadows
as you drew your last breaths.

It wasn't the Penguin
It wasn't Riddler
It was Freeze or Ivy
It wasn't even the Joker.

It was leukemia.
The battle within
eventually triumphs.
Even when it comes to
the dark knight.

Even when it comes to

I imagine that the bat cave is quiet
Now.
Now.
Goodnight batmobile.
Goodnight Alfred.
Goodnight Robin.
Goodnight commissioner Gordon.

Goodnight shark repellent
and grappling hook.
Goodnight cape

Goodnight cape
and cowl.
And goodnight bat signal.
"Shut it down. He's not coming."
