purity of souls

an amazing togetherness i witness

in the functioning of the mother earth
and the father sun, her eternal partner
to maintain the purity of her springs

despite the quick gathering of impurity

in the brook running away from source
the place of her origin, like refugees
and immigrants towards wealth

as the loaded muck in the river

running to the ocean but never
beyond to eternity, the rain cloud
for a re-birth of another pure soul

Dedicated to Mario Flores
and Gitanjali Victor to be wedded

mediocrity

she runs with blinkers, changing

not her course, her dream
with him riding on her with similar
pads and becoming one with speed

like a jockey on the horse racing

a harmonious linking
of two unlike souls, one
from the surface of the earth

and the other from a cloud floating

but impregnated not with rain
a sure unproductive providence
together also a mere vapour
