One life's learnings distilled into a book, The offsetting chartreuse cover Covered with dust of decades I seem to have forgotten Due to my life's coming to a close. I read the last page, hands filthy Then drown in a final cleansing And purification of my life. The pages detach and evaporate; The cover floats to a new shore With its new sky blue hue And human to master it.
