Unfinished Fragments

by Ben Evans

Sometimes I feel like the sun
begining
ashamed, and clad in dust.

...

So I’ll acquiesce and acquiesce
Until finally there’s nothing left
Of me, and all I was before.

...

You’ll shout and I’ll leave
And you’ll cry just like Eve
In the beginning
when god called her name.

...

So go on, ask then
The questions
You once asked yourself
‘do i look fat, ugly am I boring?’
Go on,
Teach me, please,
To lie to you.

Author's Note: Unfinished fragments - not sure what else to add with these.

As all fragments are...really like what you've done here Ben...thought provoking, spiritual. Aptly separated, and yet accurate summations of the whole. Glad I got to read this (these). :o)
