Differential Tempt Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Differential Tempt

Rating: 5.0


Lilies for sale at the flower stall
Awaiting offering to sacred relic
By spiritual hands of disciples
Thronged by bees of honey, on flight
Reciting a melodious chant par overwhelming!

Just there, meanwhile, paradoxically
Currency notes, drawer amassing
Right beneath lilies of sanctity,
Offered encampment to only
A few dirty brown trash flies of
A jangle, par awful and nauseating
