Galle is literally a festival

We don’t know who imprinted

with foot and fairytale

labour and vocation

belief and self-belief

despair and decorum,

nothing either of mask and masked 

the unmasking and shredding 

and the saladizing of anxiety,

little of what was done 

by whom and in whose name,

but there were and will always be vessel,

bait and biting

a catch and a sale

and literary fragments 

to sweaten a deal

in the cultural hoax

of this annual trip

along a super highway 

of words, blurbs and blabber

bypassing landmarks of being

that have and will survive

voyeur and voyeurism
