those who do not care

by luis giraldo - Capricorn

in tears I 
shed 
a tormented soul 
bent-bruised 
backwards
blind to people 
I do not care.

their eyes slit 
shut 
only look away
from face to face
a shame of dread
falls down each day:
they do not care.

who does love, 
my friend?

in a simple gesture
of a smile
	 a wink
	        a kiss
that just might stay
on the souls of the same 
who walk away.

who is hate, then?

is she the one who roams
inside this head 
		& breeds so slow & fair?

i am sorry,
i just forgot your name.
forget me & this sea, we 
		cry amazed.
