Le Passe-muraille

 

Born of a doomed nature,

this now bronzed trickster,

 

the-passer-through-walls,

his powers lost, 

forever elaborately cemented

halfway between steps.

 

This man used his talent

to conduct forbidden acts of

treachery, malignancy,

walking through walls to seduce and to steal.

 

And the doctor whose crushing bridle 

halted his forward march toward all his destructions,

taught him an occult truth that

he learned too late.

 

When given any gift in life, 

one must use that gift with good intentions.
