To walk through a market square belonging to blind people.
To be nothing but sound.
To buy apples with one's steps,
and to make the caves in their ears collapse with just one bite.   


To wave good-bye,
leaving the resonance of a grin behind.

sounds nasty at first two reads.
but somehow i managed to like it.
the narrator withdraws into old safety of seeing at the end of the poem, maybe having realized his initial wishes to be futile. in this regard this poem would be a nice comment on the artificiality and the critical aspects of a supposed 'authenticity' of writers. good one here.

& shouldn't it be one's steps rather?
