The Nomad & The Fool
The Nomad and The Fool
are very different people…
Nomads wander
and fascinate,
but move too much
to feel safe.
Fools hope for home
in a steady space,
but risk demise
upon leaps of faith.
The Fool, with bricks,
struggles, everyone panics,
and collapses, to rubble.
Lost is The Nomad,
conflicted and numb.
Pitiful is The Fool
and her dust-covered jewels
but still, she shells her cups —
sparkling chalices,
that never shine enough.
The Nomad drifts,
The Fool slips —
cups run empty,
filling viper pits.
