The Destitute |
by abbya |
The last hut beyond the village has a candle burning And the destitute sleeps outside on a straw mat singing Of the moon and its grand silvery door to paradise. On the wet grass I recall the floods of a million drowning With dead children and nursing women I knitted my mind. The sun came with the beheading of the unfaithful And the faithful melted without memories of their faiths. In the dark sleepless night of blind candles The destitute leads a song of candles of our endless destitution. |
