lace the shoe…
play the piano,
dig in the dirt.
stroke your face,
turn the lock.
wear the ring,
unbutton your desires.
pick up the pen,
light the smoke…
trace the hunger
of the hidden one!

the face in the mirror,
deep and grainy,weathered and beaten.the trunk of an old tree,where birds hide their nests,and squirrels meet to plotthe downfall of man.hollowed and sketched,with dignity unspoken,the scars of love and wars,where insects breed and whisper.and time itself,bows in awe and respect,for the tree that knowsitself to be a tree!
