WAY OF THE LION
Rain falls
where it will.
And when rust grows
it is obedient
to its own
nature.A sadist
kneels on the ground
to cry over
the death
of a May flower.It is the way
of the lion.
The lion in
official clothes.
The lion who wishes
he were
a dragon.
And the dragonwho wants
only to become
thesky.
