Observations Of The Man With A Broken Heart Spending Summer In A Getaway Beach

mother finally decided
to transfer his son to another
school in the busy city
there was something that she saw
and she did not like it

the son knows it
but like her says nothing about it
all the people saw it
but no one dares to mention it

taboos are silent pebbles
gritting to the coldness of the waves
not hurting to the eyes
but the ears are intolerant

it is during summer
that the pebbles begin to wear their angry eyes
the sands borrow the glitter of diamonds
the air is humid like a frigid woman

the trees shed off leaves
and grasses begin to wilt
the sea in its silence
has told more stories than the babbling kid
