The GUAVA-TREE at my frontispiece
Initially was intensely sturdy
Maturated
Full-blown
And dead:
Now sawed
With a sanguine chainsaw.
Its browned leaves
Playfully hovering amongst the windy wind.
Dead leaves beneath my feet,
Squashed with a regard plaintive melody repeat.

---

---

The squashed dead leaves of my heart
Reminisce the lost and bygone dreams
Hushed in the shadow of relic grit.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt;
Life is like a pinch of earless silk of corn
Or Like that of a dead guava-tree
Sawed with a sanguine chainsaw.
