Melancholy Meditation
Melancholy Meditation
A dragon lolls on the waves of a salt sea
His invisible minions of senility and inertness
Invade the bone house
When it is old and decadent
Death follows them to conquer the bone house
Finally, the house is ruined and downrated to dust
Just as the waves possessed by a tsunami
Suddenly uproots the deeply rooted trees
On the shore
So does Death destroy
The white roofs of the bone house
Never brass nor stone
Can hold out against the attack of mortality.
