thought fiend

looking at his hands he wonders
walking backwards through time
in order to look more carefully
at where he’s gone wrong
in the past and how the present
can be stretched out endlessly
arms between two trees
balancing somehow on a tight rope
still swaying at times trying
to avoid another fall through
knowing he has a better outlook
this time looking back at his hands again
he remembers touching the face of beauty
with hands now flat on the table
and a fiend he might be
but not for what you might expect…
