Moon-eyed Man

The moon-eyed man speaks in mumbling tongues

Handling soft carapace-beads in his time-worn hands
The sliver in his eye makes his face turn down

Encrusted in his brow lies a thousand sands


Sliding through the world, like sepulchral silk

At a moment’s pace, death flits behind

Sending sympathetic glances to the corners of the Earth

He sees the world; his face is blind.


The moon-eyed man feels for all in plight,

Though help may come with dissonance

His tools are apt, his steps are light,
He blankets you in ignorance.
