He Thinks By Fire by ~altruisticlies --- This piece by :devaltruisticlies: evokes the cinematic storytelling style of Fellini with a dash of Hemingway for good measure. Immerse yourself in the setting and seek out the wisdom hidden within.

Castles
Set the scene in Vienna, Rome
Tripoli - countries in cities.
Restaurants in the shade.

Men in chairs
With white straw hats, the sun curve
Of the day, and buzzing of motors on
Rocky cobblestone.

Family visits an old man.
A hearty dinner, the sun a shine on the glass.

She says tell
us something
Like you used to.
The boys poke the ground,
Fiddle with the earth,
Before he sighs.
Sighs, speaks:

Contracts
I sign in blood.
A column splits, spoken

Ramparts, assailed corridors.
Degraded anarchs in the veins.
I hear Fire.
Random chaos in
The voi- voi- Void.

And my entry read:
'Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate!'
Abandon all hope, ye who enter!




He breathes.
The stun is complete. Boys caught moving
Sag down and shake.

She asks why? How?
And he repeats, numbly:
Abandon all hope, ye who enter.
A revision of The Man In Thought.
