HE WANTS EVERYTHING

He has a patch over one

eye - like a permanant blind fold.

His face is masked by mummy wrappings

of the intimate variety.

He looks like the betrayed,

untrusting,

fragile,

emotionally virginal,

monster of twisted youth.

"What do you want?"

Just walking towards him...

Just allowing that hope

seems to hurt him.

I understand...

As I walk silently passed him

& his hand reaches out

grasping nothing but

nothing.
