Martyrs

From the wetted womb

of a season's mother

a raindrop bloomed

to a planet's whisper

 

As the eyes of the drop

glimpsed its world

foresaw the remorse

its life devoured

 

As the raindrop struck

the whispering grounds

shattered to droplets

a million around

 

The death of the drop

but certainly quenched

the thirst of a planet

from a martyr's lament
