I splat the slim cigarette's ashes onto the pavement,
Little to no care of my own psychological impairment,
While living through life with no means of any repayment.

Sighted
Vision, perception
Staring, observing, gazing
Ability to see everything, total visual impairment
Stumbling, groping, touching
Darkness, sightless
Blind

P arent becomes child becomes as parent –

A pparent is elder one’s impairment.

T rying feelings and thoughts run concurrent

C oncentrating on being courageous,

E ntails resolute faith to sustain us.

When all drab hope expired
And with it my faith
In humanity -

It's snakelike ripcord slither;
I accept whole the dream
For fear it is -
Not real.

I will not court denial,
Kiss belief in this fortune;
The living treasure you bestow
Upon my being -
Breathes exultant.

I know only these things:
Life weeps fluid ephemeral,
And bludgeoned by impairment;
Yet together we may shoot -
The moon....
