Soul rings the bell

I am of air, of breezes, winds,
I who am of soil, dust and matter
seared by flames and fire,
locked together, cell to cell
hollow I am a vessel
till soul rings the bell.

Exit

Allowance of such temperament
evolving of sort, acceptance
eyes down, head bent
while the fingers hold the forehead

The circle comes to full
and then there is a tendency
to bear and submit; the right foot first
then the left as the eye ponder the distance

leaving the comfort
of expected
and the thrill of familiar, no matter how lucid
there should be a satisfaction

Maybe a promise
or reach of a resolution
a wish not bounded by guilt
a birth of a sort or death

for after all there is a beginning
and an end equally foreseen
some would even say
an entrance worthy of the exit

A doll with a missing eye

The girl at the doorway
looks up, while holding
a doll with an eye missing
in her hand dangling on her side

She looks down
as the light glare
she robs her eye
with her free hand
turning her head to the side

She has been waiting
and every time the bell rings
she runs to the door smiling
carrying her doll with one missing eye

she sees the boys run
as she blocks the sun
with her free hand
"crazy boys"

She mumbles to herself
as she closes the door
now holding the doll with
a missing eye closer in her arm
