A bottle placed a wall upon,
In stupor turned away form.
It must have been gravity
that caused its fastest fall.
Or simple lack of shelf.
The crash it was that
Caused the noise that
Inclined eyes to turn to
Shards shimmering in faint
Light casts one bulb shining.
Fuzzy dark turned clearer but
None else around to clean so
Stooped he, gathered piece
By piece the life of bottle
And man gradually covered
Tears mixed blood with.
