The Trembling Hand

Strike a tong.
It shivers.
Like a lonely leaf,
Falling from a tree.
Flick a fly.
It flutters.
Like a lost warrior,
In his last battle.
Unleash the heart.
A restless soul,
Staggers out,
And the body lies vacant .
Waiting for a new master,
A fresh life,
A new self,
Another, mangled heart.
