Patched waiting

Strangers all walk circle eyes

averted in all directions

seeking shade from the oppression

heat pain hardship confusion

thick like mud blood on

the soles of my slippers seeing

but blind to everything the

disembodied sermon crashing

down my soul splattered on

the pavement found a resting place

until suspicion rose like smoke

from the cigarette on the hand

of a child in mid-invitation

among the roots stones leaves oils

like an offering to gods in wait

guaranteed to relieve one of the

heat pain hardship confusion

in exchange for a little bit of

my soul splattered in the

middle of Plaza Miranda while

strangers all walk circle eyes

averted and barely there surviving.
