Sunbaked Sidewalk

It was there 
        within a crack
of a sunbaked  sidewalk
--a beaten trampled upon path
that i placed my brittle soul
within a gritty soiled ground.

Passerby, your foot so close
to the fractured light --
i see your sole but lost my own

soul.

Is the reason why i choose 
that the thumb of rule is to be
that i watch the walkers 
           -->leaving me.
