Casuarina

Witness to secrets
Ancient casuarina tree
By old school field


Witness to naughty boys
Mischievous fooling around
By that football field


Witness to so many
School day conversations
By these common corridors


Witness to the crazy games
Cheeky stuff about pretty girls
By the city thoroughfare


Witness to a new ambience
This art museum presides
By distant memorabilia


Witness to old secrets
Adolescent fantasies
By schoolboy nostalgia


Witness to commotions
Present day philosophies
Casuarina twilight
