The World Simply Laughs (edited)

the single step
of the thousand steps
the world
laughs at
it

it is the beginning of a
world in a cliche

the world cannot be intimidated
by your howl
it has silenced so many
howls
before the first howl
came in
the cave of
illusions

the world will love you for your silence
your friend
in your solitude
your buddy in your fishing
your company
in prayer
