falling pressure
while moving up a hilly track
i saw a wide water front falling from top
reflecting seven colors
on a huge stone
embraced all around by thick green moss
i could not resist
carefully
i climbed up
and from safe angle and distance
jumped on the stone's heart
the huge water pressure fell on my two shoulders , head and back
i knelt and prayed
" what is this miss fountain, what is this
is this the way to welcome a stranger
to give him a hug and kiss"
she said from above
" oh the emboldened lover of beauty of water
there is no other way
that we giggle and surrender"
i will crucify you in love of water
you will pacify me by your romantic numbers. '
yes , i said and offered my bared chest
to allow my love to lull me to a lethal rest.
the next morn the twittering birds said,'
there lies a lover
to eat him out
we will no allow any vulture.'
