SYSIPHUS

Let it go, do not touch it,

you had been negating the bare truth.

I was part of you

once at the shore of tragedy.

Life was treacherous

and I was free to laugh.

 

Come September and I will be chasing

the fireflies again.

 

How time takes revenge

from the innocent commitments ?

You start returning to your roots

and I was still surfeiting

on the secret fidelity.

 

Where was the need to be tied down

to god ? No body was honest to forsake

the fear of nameless nemesis.

 

The myth of rock still haunts.

Water still boils under the clay.

Petals fly in dark alleys

and I cannot find the door.
