Near a tree
two theatre masks grow old.
They cry and laugh
and chat once in a while,
as if remembering the times
they were used.
However I heard
they would still lie there, forgotten
even if you had given them a choice.
"There's more to see in the world", they'd say,
"than to work day and night
only to build fragile sand castles."
I want to be free
from the sea's thin cloak
and the breath of the poets -
for they do not know
how the stars would look upon us
if we saw their naked glow
in the dry lands above.
You made my heart burn like hell,
And you made my heart spin like a tornado --
But then you poisoned me with your muddy lies, and like an earthquake left
The cold stare you gave me still freezes my tears
