Baskadia

I did not expect to feel disappointed
but I do-
at the hedge fronting the garden
there was a tree barren
of leaves, under which I see you two
looking at each other as if to be implicated.

On the eve of spring
winter got tired
but I feel a mighty winter
again has come throwing bitter
and extreme cool with blizzard
towards me trembling and shrinking.

Alas, this is the atlas of our relationship
going to be the Titanic, the sunken ship!
