In Exile

With tall questions I am 
alone, waiting for the 
                 tomb robbers to come.

Truth was no more a religion.
You wanted to consecrate?
                  the illusion, sealed in myths.

A graffiti appears on the 
waiting trees. Who put?
                   the curse on swaying blooms ?

The dialect of the moon will 
not listen to heart beats of sun. 
                   The grammar was in primitive state.

Yes, the music of lake has 
a meaning. The boat will carry
                    the wreaths for the wilting words.
