GREED and FALL

As I struggled in the dark lane at dawn

With noisy crickets giving rhythms in my trance

I recalled myself, 'a diamond among the sea of glass'

Who once sat on a winning lottery

But my gigantic hunger made the curtain of life fall.

Will I have a second bite at a cherry?

One that comes with grits and stars?

Not in dusks but sunrise in life?

These questions kept knocking through my brain while the yellow light rested on my cheek.

I hope to break the circle and make it count again!
