YELLOW HIBISCUS
Everyone knows now
​
There is no disagreement
​
What had been
Had torn us apart
​
Now the shoes
Stand peacefully
On the old woven rug
​
Rain falls
On the dry
Bewildered earth
​
The insects
Are finally dead
​
The pump groans
The cat squeaks
And the moon
Dresses up
Like a pumpkin
For a visit
To the market
​
Who know the names?
​
It doesn’t matter.
​
She no longer
Has to urge him
To be positive
​
Everyone knows now
​
A harmony of despair
Has brought us all together
​
Our hero
Our brilliant vibrant
And supreme hero
Wins every battle
And glows
Futile and magnificent
​
There is no disagreement
​
The queen stands
At the window
Of the provincial church
Showing off
Her earrings
​
Is there more?
Is there something else?
​
The man wanders
The edge of the cliff
Overlooking the sea
​
Lightening bejewels the sky
​
The dogs are in a frenzy
​
Like the hare
Between the teeth
Of the hunters
What had been
Had torn us apart
​
But now we are free
Of all disagreement
​
And on a terrace
Facing everywhere
We all sincerely enjoy
The beauty
​
Of a yellow
Hibiscus
