Changes slide
on the escalator of time
As monsoon rides
on the helicopter of wind.

Shaking my bone and balance
And I became two inadvertently,
On the stale altar of customs.

The climactic number on the scale
Here under the cenotaph
Of my urge and hunger

The future of my voyage and race.
But is this the way
A tree luxuriates
to its sad defloration,
The world expands
to its pitiless extinction
Like a luckless baloon
Bulging and bursting
In desert air?
