The blacksmith
Yesterday night,
i saw the blacksmith on his sick bed,
he was composing dirges he wouldn't sing,
i got a glimpse of it,
'...when the coals are cold,we forge no more...'
i told him he got to get up,and form more swords,
but he said he had form'd his greatest sword and wouldn't risk forming lesser,
i told him i got all the gold he've ever wanted,
but he torted metals were his only tools,
the blacksmith has reach the pits and skies of knowledge.
no little wonder,
he prefer dying at dawn to living to sunset!..
{creamy petals seducing butterflies as they unknot their ever-buried cruciality}
