the children with such earthen hands opened the book burning in Sanskrit: twilight of Summer. now to their own accord, they must persist in daylight, with the overgrowth arrives new verve to rising tendrils. one by one, leaping out of the unclenched hands of faith, pelts of the world give them a renewed bounty of laughter; even the days ring true, a consortium of bells in the nearby cathedral of Barasoain or wherever perhaps, in the streets where a different kind of ashen is imparted: I speak of the languor in sleep. a gossamer canopy underneath the guava, whose leafing fingers signal them like motherless beacons to the sprite of the lissome afternoon – such bodies hemmed in inertia, stay there in search for light. blacker the wounds of trees yet insignia the name of memories, a river of stallions is the blood of fetal natures and I sing freely with them: we are the children of the loam!
for my lost youth, and all the other children I see, ****** in the afternoon.
