An Idealist
Roasted, salted
Ducks quacking in delicious pain.
Hot steams rise as cold slabs
merge into forlorn figures waiting
By the stops of tomorrow, shaped by
The wind, sand and melancholy
of the dried tears of the insane.
I wait for my daily stutter.
Nails cracked,
knees bent,
she's dressed in a cracked armor.
Passion is the cruel curse of gods, the victors of the meek.
