Sunbaked Sidewalk
It was there
within a crack
of a sunbaked sidewalk
--a beaten trampled upon path
that i placed my brittle soul
within a gritty soiled ground.
Passerby, your foot so close
to the fractured light --
i see your sole but lost my own
soul.
Is the reason why i choose
that the thumb of rule is to be
that i watch the walkers
-->leaving me.
