Blind Man
By Mimi Nguyen
The blind man knows the direction of destiny
Crushing gravel along the way, the only way
He walks on all fours among man and beast.
West of the moon, east of the sun
He hands out instructions and designs the perfect map
For those wounded in the belly
For those lost between silence
Dreams hang on a wheelbarrow,
half buried against solitude.
No one wants a sentence on life
Someone harbors hope and remembers rain.
The blind man draws circles and traces charms
Bloodline cursed over three generations:
A mother burns her baby with fire and water
To prove the newborn is not his father's future assassin.
One brother drags a corpse in a suitcase for revolution
The other flees into exile and carries the jungle inside.
A groom abandons his bride
A jealous mistress poisons her rival
An old man refuses to bury his daughter
Fortnight and the mourning still on his hands
He was surprised when a woman shot him.
Emotion has a motion trapped in mid-air
Knowledge is found and fixed in a trajectory
If you believe in the blind man's words
For elixir and enlightenment
There are certain herbs that could harm and heal
That could win and destroy love all at once
It's a matter of denial or consumption.
And if you can look someone deeply in the eye
The grass meets the sky when you trust with your life
Someone wails in the night and trawls through desire.
