Karmic slate
Pandora opening square cubes
With a confused stare
Reptilian psychopathic glare
Would Karma account for the insane?
Passing judgment on the inane
Incompetent foresight
Begrudging pity
First day of winter
Last day of fall
Snow settles softly
Eerily quiet
An old man sits at the fire
Watching the flames dance
His mind wonders to Cyprus
And a long walk
A desperate dance with a devil
Knocking all the ghosts out
Liquid amber splashing
Turning the ground to a fire burn
The rain drives hard
Each droplet a mirror
Drowning the fire in darkness
And reflecting mirrors
Karma looks on passing judgment
Taking into account all those past mistakes
And all those many lives
All she can do is cry
The old man stands
Reaches down to grab another log
Gently puts it on the embers
Watches the sparks
Each of which look like a mini star
Before it burns out
A constellation of flames
Reflecting heaven
