A Poet Beside a Pond

A poet beside a pond
With a blue sweater on
There’s a palace behind with great grandeur
And scaffolds of dead leaves flying in the air

A poet beside a pond
With his hands in his pockets
In his knees there’s a sound of treble percussions
Declaring the few tales of lost loves

Like the dried coughs in the chest
Words are stuck inside
Which never had the chance to be orated
And polish the trees even greener outside

Beamed with love and tarnished with affection
All through the life
His skin on the face is

a dead snake now

A poet beside a pond
If some words can be found
Sieving out the water
If only some words can be found
