like an over-ripened fruit
juices freely flow
pooling, sticky on the tile
solitary footsteps tracked through
look over your shoulder
a dim light beckons from
a splintered door
what you controlled
the things you held
still worthy of the price
wandering the desert floor
forty days and nights
hungry for the taste of manna
and all that you were promised
