Standing Alone

Hurling the body from a rooftop 
for a second life 
after death.

An insult to human line. 
I have no friend now
in this world.

Stay quiet. The storm is 
dying, instead of 
bringing down the palace.

Everything looks murkier. 
Will you go to sit in 
mourning for a broken wheel ?

A begger’s dream ? Will
you open the window
for a last look at the moon.
