Strangely

In blood sport
you forget to die, disintegrating
though, cell by cell.

What an ambience-
of human nature ?
You drag the carcass-

of mutations whole life.
Now, selling the virginity
for charity ?

You build a castle-
of mud bricks as a tribute
to undying love-

for the poverty
of the saint, who had jumped
into the river.
