"And so it fell;
the photograph taken
light-years ago, and was folded
and hidden between the pages
of Great Expectations, fell from
the book when it was re-opened.
The poet's eyes glistened, sparkled,
in a peculiar way-a sullen mix of
oddity and nostalgia. What he thought was
a memory buried in oblivion's graveyard,
came back, exhumed, and it was
haunting him beyond any poet's metaphors
could ever describe.
It struck him, like a rust-eaten
knife, twisted twelve times while
it was impaled in his chest. The vivid
crimson blood rushed down his then pale-painted
skin.
The poet tried his best to continue
reading the half-finished book and
forget his half-finished love affair
Yet inevitably, the poet did fall too."
