86.
The moon has burned out.
There is no more rain
to relief the thirst of sun
and to soak
my dried heart.
Love is stolen.
87.
I want to float forever
in the blue of your eyes.
I walk on stairways
that continue beyond the clouds
and my wealth is love.
My desert needs your waterfalls.
88.
Sun is drowning.
Darkness is thickening.
The shell sings ocean in my ear.
My mind is swimming.
89.
Just say nice things you do not mean.
Our world is full of right speech
but lacks right conduct.
90.
People raised in poverty
love to destroy the wealthy
but money
will destroy them.
