\n 
\nIn the tattered parts of the hand woven\u00a0fibres
\nnaked\u00a0poverty of screams
\namid roaring drunk waves of wine bottles
\nwhirling in synthesis with partying proverbs
\nechoes against posthumous walls
\nto add the\u00a0colors\u00a0to a faded terrain
\nsipping dripping sweats of a dead beat life
\nwhich has spent decades to get up from work
\nto smile at the gone days.
\n \u00a0
\nFoliage and twigs rejuvenate themselves
\nwith the waters discarded out of the musical chair game
\nwith splashing music dying out
\nin swimming strokes of fatigued hands.
\n \u00a0
\nEach day swimming fog blurs smiles
\nCrawling clouds dance with tears
\nand changing seasons paint poignant outbursts
\nyet the little life left in some corner
\ntakes a swing in the estate
\nwhere a Rolls-Royce warms up each evening
\nand Rolexes add motion to stillness.<\/strong>
