Random Leaf #840 precisely cut

Her blindness
cured all—
the folk
who lost
their sight.

She set
herself ablaze
while the
whole world
watched her—
in amazement.

No one
ever knew
her suffering.

And when
tears too
dry fell,

they all
rejoiced—madmen
athirst for
something—
so common,
so trivial,
so tragic.

The battle
ended and
the witch
was beaten—

now all
they have
are heroes,

and they,
the madmen,
will never
truly be
aware of
what they
have lost.
