Achilles Heel


 I thought I saw...

 

A dead pair of boots,

 

Tarred black leather,

 

Discarded and limp;

 

Road strewn...

 

On the path,

 

Worn, rejected

 

Ruined.

 

 

 

But,

 

I looked again, and...

 

It was

 

A drunken man,

 

Kissing a brown

 

Bottle.

 

Walking barefoot;

 

Broken glass

 

For a face...

 

Singing

 

Mourning

 

A sad lament

 

For a soul lost…

 

On a street in Saigon.
