someone poured water into his mouth

they washed him
then gave him food

still he could not see
But felt and heard

the voices were gentle
someone unwrapped the bandage from his eye
he felt the hands trembling

Welcome to the Kingdom of the Blind

his one eye blinked slowly
twice

may peace be
with you

then he felt music coming out of the stone
and into his head
and suddenly he slept again
