The Beggar

by Felino A. Soriano

The beggar
brought to the home of his doormat hands
nothing
nothing tangible of the edible
concept,
brought
though hope of the anti hankering:

cease, research, theories
of literature
-based realities
prosodic enhance
teaching to function the legs of lying-down-daily

to corrupt this sanitized stillness

search
search
among the flying variables

landing worms and mouth-constructed
nests
our sacred
rebuild in materialization.
