Much to Lose

Standing at the foothills of symmetry

you see

a pair of shoes, walking,

with a man inside them.


And in your closet

The dark ages

pile up.


At times you stop

to scratch your posterior and posterity

And then you start climbing the mountain once again….


Meanwhile,

In your closet

The dark ages

Keep piling up


At the top

A little rainbow must greet you

That’s what they teach you in schools and aquariums


And then you reach the summit

to realize that

in your closet

the dark ages

have piled up…..


But by that time you’ve already lost your little violin

After looking for some real, intoxicating poetry since all of those poet ghosts of my youth are dead, I just found you. Don't lose that 'soul' of your words that makes me go for another cigarette even at this hour of night when mercury is falling faster than dignity of human. Kudos
