Recluse Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Recluse

Rating: 5.0


Do you think it's enough
a single dropp of rain to clean
the dirty clothes and his soul?
The ragamuffin was in a rainforest
all his youth.
He opens his mouth
and waits for the rainy season
rest of his life.
The man already vamoose in a drought
and what's the purpose of searching his tomb
under the rainbow?
It's in vain.

niice description of a recluse, Nimal. i've met a few & this fits. 'the rainforest of his youth..' & the last line - was a great close. it does come down to vanity. Sus.
