a braille touch for his lack of sight

Apoplectic curmudgeon fumbles...

Jumpstarting outstanding undertaking...
bringing jouncy, spectacularly crafted,
nuanced, zesty, noteworthy, creatively

kept rudely awake whilst disobedient sheep
incur wrath of Little Bo Peep, she lambastes
protesting courtesy rambunctiousness being

I rather watch a kestrel to see
Her swoop and swirl
The skies invisible maze
To feed the inhabitants of her nest
Her milk of gratitude

Working hard in the trenches on a daily basis

Taking use of a waterfly
She merrily drifts on
To a tired petty refuge...
For the last time.
The waterfly is gentle
Beyond it's appearance.

A deep hum 
And it's ventriloquist  eyes
Are forever waiting beneath the sea.

Colorful clothes, bags, umbrellas
 A worried look, anxious to get home

A cloaked figure 
With malicious gaze
At the passersby
Crawls into darkness

A ringing...

She looks in the mirror
And the tears rolls down her face
The lines she never notice before
Are now all over the place

She fumbles with a cigarette 
As she tries to get it light
She heard the knock...

In a drunken state at the bottom of life’s well
