For Nothing

You broaden your desire 
base, by legitimacy,
ignoring the will of
storm-ravaged sea.

As the sun meets the 
falcon, I will give you-
a call, that demons were
entering into the dreams.

The time stoops to pick- 
up the wounded peacocks.
The red hibiscus will write
your name on the wall of bricks.

This was a swan song 
before our parting. The 
darkness will find the stars 
hiding behind the strewn-

feathers of blind moon.
