On the Edge of the Road

On the edge of road; 
while he was going on his way  
With feathered feet ,he became a dust! 

Motionless pale and
barefooted I was standing  
as a withered tree...
While the wind stings my lips! 

I was standing on the edge of road
Holding my fists on a handful of dust
while the ash leaking from
the hole of my heart!

the imagery is so deep and sad especially in the final stanza - the image of ash leaking from a hole in the heart - oh so sad a heart burnt out and nothing is left :-( Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
