Geometry


the rain is not like love; the rain
is older than love and the rain
will perservere

the sky is not like sorrow; the sky
is boundless and the sky
cannot be coloured with pride

the earth is not like guilt; the earth
is free of sin and the earth
consumes the martyr without shame

the night is not like death; the night
is laughing and the night
anticipates the scarring brought by rain
