A wry smile studded with tiny
wooden pegs.
(I wonder how they taste!)
He pinched one peg out,
    fixed it on the heel
    of a shoe
    and hit it with his hammer.
Thud, thud! Thud thud!
One in.
Count: two, three, four, five.

�The shoe is ready, heeled,� he said.

�Cobbler, can you do the same with my soul?
Can you heal my soul?�

�Of course, I can,� the cobbler said.
He swooped me up in his brawny arms,
    stretched me on a cross and ...

Hi Nicos,

I discovered ELLOPOS only recently. So I thought I should contribute a few pieces of my "poetry". I've read a couple of your poems and like them very much. Yesterday I promised myself to read more, if not all, of your poems / postings.
Look for a new post, "The Book of Judas".
Regards: George
