Tools of the Trade

October 5th, 2007 by Richard Cockrum

an anarchist’s bomb.
a sword’s edge. tools of little
men seeking revenge
on a world they can’t forfend,
nor in their fear, comprehend.

stranger, walk with me.
feel my fear. drink agony
from my blindness
as i run from the kindness
of apple blossoms in spring

avert your eyes as
i pass. your smile strikes at my
weakness. my knees cave
as i dig my grave, a slave
to my blindness, fear my glaive.
