Who am I?
Who am I?
I am all alone
In this forlorn
and infecund world
Who am I?
I am merely a shadow of rotten bones
but nothingness
My entity is nothing
Tussling and dying
In every sickle of irredeemable time
and adhered like the clogs in the sulphuric fire
Searching a blue canopy
but flagrant fire, deadly fire,
My self is in deep bedlam
crouching like the crimson leaves
in the valley of dead bones
Corporeal frame is smouldered
light-flame is defiled
bewailing and bemoaning in the baleful air
Who is there?
sauntering lonely in this sable and bleakly night
while no cuckoo bird sings
upon the boughs of shrunken trees
Hark!
someone is there...is anyone there?
stay and reveal yourself
and turn your queer and quirky face
Why are you roving like an itinerant in this sinister and murky night?
while no cricket shrieks in this gnawing time
but you are all unaccompanied in this mystifying cloak
but last winter I have seen you underneath the parched-up mountains and rocks
no...no...no...you were there at Ivory Tower
with your shattered and magnifying glasses
and bearing a tattered coat and battered cap
going for a long peregrination in the dead sea
and sailing your barrage over the tossing-waves
and there was no glee upon your purple and pallid face
dismal night and ravenous sea
torrential water,
deluge of delusive sea
and clamor of trillion and trillion voices
heard up the dreary sea
tears, torrid tears,
of woeful mankind
