They Also Serve Who Only Stand And Stare

her eyes embers
of burning coal
to steal her soul 
in midflight was
my ultimate goal
first a little bit a
part than whole

than a voice
whispered
is it only her
soul you stole
or her pain of
unliving untold
as it pierced my
camera vision
a story unfolds

i was in her power
in her hold ,, shivering
cold fragile and old
