Prizefight

Time zone had become acidic.
Wear the chador softly.
Moon is coming out.

Down rushing
stillness croons.
Someone is going to outwit the night.

A night bird weighs the wind.
Why do you stand alone ?
Desires will come relentlessly.

The essence of pain.
My bronze heart,
has no prodigious injury.
