Ennui

It rains all day, all night

Rains, like chains, tie me down

Clouds fill my sleep

Clouds, like crowds, strangle me

Insects dance by the lantern

Insects, like sunsets, block my vision

Dusts in the bookshelves

Dusts, like rusts, gather in my bones……….

But beyond all these absurdities

and nude sunflowers that stare at me

like holy angels,

water beckons –

Water – cold, blue and silent………
