AT THE MAUSOLEUM OF LOVE

At the mausoleum of love
on any given night
or day
the loved and the loving
bend low
touch ground
and memory rebirths
the beloved;
while the unloved
they pillage
in the manner of a nidan hora
assassinate again and again
desecrate again
heart and time.
Love eludes some,
and I wonder why they wonder why.

[from the collection 'Stray kites on string-less days']
