“When people marvel at the rich imagination in poetry,
Poetry marvels even more at its own poverty.” — Huang Xiang
appearing from nowhere
a heavy rock sits on my heart
unaware of its mothers,
an orphan weeping to understand
whether a poet’s deepest dive in his sabotage
or a mute lover’s answer to the strange tears
is the reason to not know
why world is a mirage
and my heart is an unworthy violin.
