Purezento

 

 

Do you have a clue what it feels like

To be given a fancy case

by a man with no face

 

a low flutter of tiny wings of silk

and a muffled welcoming giggle

 

To stare at it's sealed content

For so long...

The distance between

the ribbons of green

and your shaking hand

shrinks...

and expands...

 

Do you know what it feels like

to retreat quietly choosing

to stay hesitant

choosing not to choose yet

until the giggle inside the case

is muted...and it vibrates.

pleading voices spruce in place

 

and then a nudge or two...

 

Do you know what it feels like

to stand by the doorway

and watch the case

imitate all the other

non-living tools

in their silence

 

A Waste...

[Wondering Mind]

mentally experi-mental
But in all honesty, no man dared give me a fancy case, face-less or not, well, not yet.
