_A Look Around_

When tired of being alone
 with myself in my room I take a walk to look around —
dusty dawn, thirsty birds, lame cows aged children with burdened brow squatting 
lifelessly about near the steps of the temple or at the gate leading to the lake
now turned a grazing ground for stray cattle; watching balloons go high in the air
with the detachment of a disgusted octogenaire hearts empty of all desire, all curiosity
tending to new tears in their tattered pants or gazing idly at the flies gorging
on the gaping wounds on their body.
