VI - Ryner Lai

Tenuously tethered leaves,
Feed the thirsty soil.

After a blistering summer of defeat,
The autumn winds come low.
 
I cite my soul
In contemplation of the after-war.

Whistle slow;
I want not turbulence.

Mighty waters,
Recede, recede just so.

Watery grave,
Encompass my wound-torn whole.
