A Lone Journey

Invasion was thin 
like a feather’s fall 
on the mirror.

Only bride will know, 
the rose petals were 
meant for unthinking.

Scattering rice 
to dig out the tools 
of prehistonic man.

The previous night 
I taught myself 
how not to peel the oranges?

with bare hands, 
in terror, when there was 
endless path to unknown.
