Several nights I had spent to estimate
your image in blind colours,
in a universe of endless lust,greed__
several nights!
Could you still be asked
why you chose a loveless palace in a matchbox,
a throne of pregnant want in tattered theatre
of thorns?
Could there be some peace in your measured
coffin?
Could some hailing angels be honouring your presence
with robust fists of welcome to a palace of radiant grace?
Could I ask why your hollow choice
lit the earth with much applause you knew nothing of ,
without teaching how an unknown angel
toured through your rickety bungalow
to confirm a shocking blessing
unknown to palaces in these climes?
Were you also seeking converts,like Paul,renewed in Damascus from Saul?
Why terrify a sweet world’ s wealth with corridors made of planks,honoured without tiles?
Why being a sample of vanity in an earth with heartless,endless oceans of waiting wealth?
Were you working on a pressing,restless theory
of reincarnation?
Must future archaeologists also dig into hidden firmament of your unknown dreams?
Your choice was brutal_
and you knew it!
We shall visit your frightening palace for clues,someday!
