ancient autumn sky,
light gleans from shadows
gold leaf rustles

Enjoy.

The Saint
May 23, 2006 | 25 Rabbi al-Thanni 1427

His hands were like chasms that had been filled in with a life-time of dirt and grit.

Speaking in a babble of tongues, he uttered the names of the Saints.

He was not crazy; I could see lights behind his eyes.

He had seen things no man should ever have to see; lived like everyman presumptuously wished.

He knew St. Luke’s but he prefers to live outside.

Crumpled pages, all scraps of paper - a trail of missed hopes and unfulfilled dreams. Reverently, he tucked them in his pocket.

Rendered motionless by his gaze; I could only watch him turn and walk away.
