And there you sit Amidst the latest shower of monsoon That gives way To the vapour, radiating in the autumnal air There you sit. And there you keep on gazing like a feverish dog Gasping heavily Lamenting for the dawn. And here we sit -- Here - where nowhere bridges here and there Till the moment the gaze is frozen The cold, fervent snow eats our dream In the morgue. And there Our son awaits our youth. Our youth - Our apple pie is getting cold behind The Christmas Tree. Four years later, I still see How people strangle innocence with beauty Of multiplied growth. How on a red summer evening You and me Stare at the ghostly Christmas Tree That pine for the winter Bright and free.
