Tears and Shoelaces

Tunisian carpets
Afloat on flames
Burnt out waters
Brunnettes on ski things
Rainbow darkness
And Everests
And Meanings

Clearest of delusions
Vaguest realities
Future lives
And present deaths
Half-lies
And past tense
Sovereign Republics
Hindu conservatives
And Everests
And Meanings

Overflowing toy cars
Run over children
Tears and shoelaces
And Everests
And Meanings
