Petrification
Humid dreams
On a slanting
garden
Waiting for the
wind
To carry away
The fragrance.
Buried
Underground
Silent, but still
present:
Deactivated
breath.
Drag out my
helmet
Visor off
Poor visibility
Blurred: my
vision
Rough.
Let hidden sea
By the sand
fathom
Sleeping ammonite
An expired life
Debunked on
stone.
Dinner
Far off
I hear echoing
Approaching my
ear.
The
wind-transporting
Frequency of the
air
Ripples of a lake
Gently disperse
In a quiet and
stagnant
Water surface.
Jumping fish
Broken silence.
Twilight that
lead
Rowing oar a boat
Fisherman returns
The day is done.
Her eyes are
waiting
His weary way
For dinner.
