The Jeweller |
The jeweler |
Has a shop |
On the corner of the boulevard |
In the night |
In small spectacles |
He polishes old coins |
He uses spit and cloth and ashes |
He makes them shine with ashes |
He knows the use of ashes |
He worships God with ashes |
The coins are often very old |
By the time they reach the jeweler |
With his hands and ashes |
He will try the best he can |
He knows that he can only shine them |
Cannot repair the scratches |
He knows that even new coins have scars |
So he just smiles |
In the darkest of the night |
Both his hands will blister badly |
They will often open painfully |
And the blood flows from his hands |
He works to take from black coin faces |
Thumbprints from so many ages |
He wishes he could cure the scars |
When he forgets he sometimes cries |
