Sorrows Of One Who

Those nuzzling beaks
a vulture's crime
to steal something
that was once mine

Those prying hands
a pickpocket's aim
to breathe life
from whence I gain

Those slender fingers
meant to undress
a resolution
that was not to break

those words
are clutching
a soul
broken

I count some pennies
a bus moves
nearby a tree
is growling

A new house
an exquisite staircase
a bed
to be a martyr again
