The sea was stolen
light traveling
the city was swept away by the wind
instruments resigned
the copious law of best wishes was
cancelled.
no one being born
of Adam
Zeus anymore.
The earth languished
stripped
shrunk—
encompassed in a tiny piece of land
where my world was
that is, nowhere was
that is, that was the realm
of nowhere inhabitants—
it was my heart-gnawing
solitary ward.
