The man stood there, in the dark with a look of askance. No one asked him, they just past him. He was benign With a face to intimidate Still blank in the dark, Pondering existence. Welcome back sinners Cutting wood, Attenuating the wood. He thought he was useless, Cavil of himself. He was a charlatan, A man of dark, An open heart, He fell so far. This would defeat him. You can not be the light in the distance, but only the spark of resistance. Tisk tisk, now remember this. Clocks only show time of decimating existence. With an axe in hand The man oscillated it. Striking wood... Striking wood! A gun to tame But missing its holster Throw it down... Throw it down! [silence] Because the only thing running through his mind is a Bullet. So let's hang up the night sky, And die in the dim Lighght. Reaching his eyes A luminous hole struck. Opening wide The man dropped his gun Towards the light His faith had won Exit the dark Leave with conclusion. Oh god was he cold...

Look of Askance
