LANTERNS

 

It rained along with the opening
dawn and by mid June, a month

ended in my ancient almanac

While rewinding events 

on the dotted lines 

i found a coat of  paint on the fourth

compartment of a knowledge house..

Timid alphabets forgot silence

and speech emerged from sea shells

From the overflowing oceans

i watched  a horizon extending

its branches to take away

my star lit earthen lanterns..
