Through the Valley (Part Two)

The valley is not a pleasant place in my opinion.

Reminders abound of your sins on the ground.

As the blood on your hands drips, it makes not a sound.

“Oh yes, do as you please. You bought it. It’s under your discretion.”


I turned to my wife, sitting down and holding a mirror.

“Which face should I use today dear?”

“The stoic facade, or the grin from ear to ear?”

She mumbled something incoherent. I could not hear her.


The lumberjack, after a hard day’s work,

Turned around to observe his last felling.

A lump in his throat that kept on swelling.

The blisters on his hands remained, with intent to irk.
