Charcoal Man

Faceless man, empty man

Coffee browned teeth with a leery grin

Faceless man shameless man

Digging a bed for his coffin of sin.

Faceless man, careful man

reading the paper

outlining every black word

resented ink

following each wrinkle in time’s fabric.

Ready and able to defend his word,

In his attic he conspires

and lives out each brilliant lie

nothing to remember him by

he stares into the

icy oracle reflector

it shows a man in love

and afraid

outlined by life

yet to be filled in with the true vibrancy of being--

a charcoal man.
