Hardened Souls

Written October 5, 2015


Souls hardened by the stones from an eternity
of grinding salt in the wounds of this machine
Eyes fixed like a lion hunting for its sub-Saharan prey
Yet glazed
Scanning the tin rooftops and glass coffins that imprison
Wondering if repetition will ever give way

wow, you sure know how to be profound. I am not good with this kind of poetry. I "almost get this." Love the imagery.
