Ernest Robles Poet Free verse

Sum Zero Life

when a soul gets old enough  
   we see all of everyone we have
       ever known 
some dressed in contemporary clothes
   others of days long past

so i walk alone
only my shadow
 and we walk 
oh, we walk alone

Ink-dried ancient papers in some
lost attic invites a lonely lost
Soul so it walks between the 
line of vital signs and dead ends
(hey!)  the living walk alone
and so my shadow is brilliant
light inside common minds so
why do I walk alone?

  So God is not that economical:
       I LED THE LINE
and no one to my left nor to 
all the rights of wrongs
and wrongs of rights

  so i walk alone 
only my poetry and 
abstract paintings and
sometimes i ask the Universe:
"Why Sum Zero?"
