the factory worker

all day
the man stands 

at his machine
in his thick boots

and hooded shield
amongst

the sparks of fire
and steel shards,

grinding metal.
polishing.

creating what the factory
needs.

he wonders
what took him down this

road into these
long years.

he wonders
what could have been,

if only, so many ifs
to ponder,

but then he pushes aside
those thoughts,

and thinks about the love
of his life, at home.

her kiss.
