Stranger than life

Time, ticking slowly by
Houses burn in a cascade of piety
moments passing obstuctedby the glare of distraction,
hope pulled through the shadowscaked with dust.

A stranger walks, head hung low.
treading carelessly through the ashes of a world
where he has lived without anyone knowing.
he catches the last speck of light as the sungoes out.

Now everyone can share his dark.
