Along the outdoor corridor,
Milk-crate mounting as students skim by,
Heeding not his lifelong stock.
Sweat leaks from his palette.
He searches their fingers for the shavings
That lie flat like loose beard...

A tapestry of yearning etched in starlight,
where whispers of kindred spirits entwine and soar.
