a wet rose opens

A treeless leaf
turns in the heavy air
as if

Earth scoured with monsoon ruts.
It's not that we never learn,

Through the sea with no water
Beyond the desert without sand
For the city with no more towers
The world watches in fear...

Made lost along the drainway
And till unsighted

Wind swept days, a good time
to be a thin branch
in a treeless landscape.

Another soon will receive the baton
The race continues on and on
Episodes will continue to unfold
What is the purpose, what is the goal?...
