Repercussions

You had set your sights 
on the pond, accepting defeat: 
wanted to know the depth of water, 
fracturing sky. 

The mangroves porous roots 
jutting out of muddy water 
exploring the memory 
of reclining tree. 

Always remained sick 
of politics- the massive 
hunt of fake solutions. 

The return of theboat with 
tiger. Are you ready to 
take a plunge in nakedness? 

Behind the curtain was 
sitting the invisible wheel 
which will find the vulnerability 
of a lonely path.
