Geography

A gasping confession
of a pubescent fault.

Why did you enter the bed
of a molten lava ?

Wisdom was in silent eyes
not on the lips of a blackened rose.

The water was white and cool
the sun was red and hot.

A mirror will never tell the truth.
Bleached was the face of moon.

One night I will be killed
in the hands of a benevolent foe.
