Without Others
One hot afternoon beneath the scorching sun
a small puddle in his rotten garden reveals
the corner of an unused safe and deep within
lies a lost hope for a lonely old scientist who
has forgotten his art but he remembers
his daughter’s small hand.
Birds whistle in summer’s new foliage.
stray dogs lap up rain puddles in the road.
and his heart beats fast
with the promise of rebirth.
now the houses are unstable
so he has to build his own.
And the food is all gone
but the ground can produce.
And he remembers every piece
of food he ever threw away.
And he’s haunted by all the
clothing he used to ignore.
And slowly, day after day,
he begins to hate who he was.
And he can never go home.
And she’s gone forever.
And he can’t refuse
this new life he’s been given.
but his eyes are open
to every small change.
And his heart it breaks
with every passing day.
And he can’t help
but to wonder aloud
if this punishment
has gone too far.
And without others
he can’t quite tell
if he’s really here
or if this is all something
he’s imagined.
And he’s forced to eat old memories
and lick his greasy fingers.
And every morsel is so empty
and his stomach grumbles
after every bite.
But his heart fills,
drop by drop,
as he relives his old life.
But deep within the decayed old safe
he finds a sealed container
that holds the blueprint of the life
he created and later destroyed.
