I stood and stared
at a man
sitting on an
old chair stationed
by a desk -
hammering away
at his Soul.
Watching with Jewels
in my eyes
I asked him:
"Do you enjoy it?"
Evasively,
he muttered:
"It's necessary."
Wisteria was
growing over his toes,
his eyes were
cobblestone.
I walked closer
to the Banal
tower of a man,
inquisitive,
determined.
"Do your eyes ever glimmer?"
I asked,
he looked back-
Glazed and Confused.
The beating of
a hammer against
a Soul was
a dangerous sound,
like a siren to a sailor.
Nearer, I trekked.
Against the backdrop
of a stone wall
his figure
was almost indiscernible -
his life was one
Without Worth
but he sat, stubborn.
A cigarette materialized
between his fingers
and he took a drag:
"Would you like to join?"
his soul was broken,
bloodless, beaten in two,
but when I shook my head
his eyes glistened
with a new wisdom:
"I am inevitable."
Tears formed in my eyes,
and I turned on my heels
and trotted away
down the road I had came,
yet the darkness loomed
on either side,
until it shrouded out my eyes:
and my ears were
filled with the familiar sound
of a Fragile Soul breaking,
but that time it was
my own.
