You found me roaming in the world
My crumpled heart you unfurled
We spent our days in unmarked time
The mountains were for us to climb.
...
A fragment of your fragrance
Succumbs to the smog of chaos
I reach for a small remembrance
Finding only shards of glances
...
The frankness of the filth
Carved a chasm of disparity
Separating my being from his
Pity gave way to disgust
...
