Illusion
September 12, 2011
Change, said the man’s wrinkled old limbs.
Age, said the man’s thin, thirsty hair.
Years, said the man’s faulty, shivering hands.
Time, said the man’s gloomy, veteran eyes.
Someone laughed.
A laugh like the trickling of water.
A laugh like the breeze glazing the trees.
A laugh like the nosy hum of the ancient insects.
The wise, unforgiving laugh that pierces all illusion.
