A Bitter Fruit

To undo, the rare 
appearance of a god; 
scouring the water,before the 
sun, divides the land.

What was the worth 
of a ritual, around the fallen virtues ?
The salt lake threw up 
the broken genes.

The swirling sand covers 
the boat, stranded on the beach. 
A tempest is waited upon. The 
gestures carry a message.

No authority.
I do not want to corrupt myself.
There was a narrow path 
leading to the pink eyes.
