MUTE PATHOS :
(10/25/o1 ; in U.S.A )

The empty bench
on the wintry park
with darekening eve
like in greek pathos
suffereing alone
embracing void
with eager arms
and looking beyond
to vacant space !

Some volatile thoughts
enclosed in spiky rails
or lost memories
or time crucified - and
mummies of reminiscence !

yet some children play
or lovers walk the way
maybe the empty bench
can yet recall
some forgotten foot-steps
of by-gone days !
