respite | |||
taking my place by the river, | |||
asking myself | |||
is there profoundness | |||
in frenzy: to cringe - | |||
an accused with no time | |||
seeking respite | |||
in the currents and sky, | |||
an occasional glimpse | |||
of a passer-by cloud, | |||
and the river | |||
keeps bringing me | |||
water... | |||
