Open and Closed Book
Salmonella wanted
to broker a truce-
between life and death.
We were very scared.
The questions were never answered.
A fault on the earth’s face.
Who will ask the-
hangman ? The tree was
standing without roots.
The questions were never answered.
Who was the spider
and who was the fly ?
A rose was unfazed;
it was a naked thorn.
The questions were never answered.
