Naked Cursed

On the empty maple leaf
standing the crown of life
withing the yellow spring

The little magpie
sipping the ocean of the language
with its chirping

Broken mirror of the sky
cutting the heart of the night emotion
spitting the ink of tears

The table of the marooned bard
 reciting the elegy of the angry god
when human exiles the beliefs

Emptiness or depraved chaste
who is strong on the path
where none can hold the flag

Hijacked...
Raped...
Killed...
Ravished moon or sun
In the shrouded freedom

Or burning bier
Walking in the history of the night
