Rebirth of a Wanderer...
from the poem series WANDERER
#1 of many...

I remember it like it was yesterday...
I see it all too clearly
except the face of the man holding the gun
whose trigger gave to me my death

I remember the odor of the burning tapestries, wallpapers, carpets...
the unique stench of melting flesh, like that of nothing I've ever smelled before...

I was not dead yet
his bullet only pierced my shoulder
and so I layed there while he proceeded to torch the house

I remember the red-orange glow of the flames as they danced around my head...

and then, like the drenching downpour from a tropical rainstorm, the pain was gone
there was no more hunger... no more thirst...
and there was a bright white light... so inviting...

I had never seen a light quite like this one before...
I had to chase it... just this once...

the more I ran, the farther it seemed to get...
until suddenly, a if I had fallen from the very thin path that I had been cahsing the light on, the immense burning sensation came over me again
but the flames had long since subsided...

and I rose from the ashes of defeat...
vowing to seek vengance upon the one who did this to me

and so I walked along a winding, dusty raod... scars still burning
until almost as suddenly as I had reclaimed my body, it began to rain

instantly realizing that I wouldn't soon see that light again, I told myself that this rain would not heal, rather fool me into thinking so...


and I continued on...
scars burning, as is anger
eager to find the one responsible for all my pain....

To be continued...
