Losing Keith

These days he doesn’t seem to care if things refuse to go his way. He has succumbed to the long noon forces that  weigh heavily on the stride of a soul just trying to get away from ghostly voices and the long pronged choices made in the mistakes of another day. So we pardon his empty stare into familiar vacancy. The crease in his trousers runs long to his face doing prized little to hide the denouement of this long ending play. He’s come to believe that the blood on his sleeve is what comes from wearing his heart that way.
