bereft

I,

who had all the answers in my rucksack,

am left standing silent and bare

before

death.

Street Fare

      Blank
       faces
 move forward
on their way to
       work.

Today’s prompt is to write a lanturne about “street fair.”
The Lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of one, two, three, four, one.
