Equilibrium ~ Monday, 26 August 2019

In late summer, 
the lake, boiling 
like a cauldron, 

makes sacrifice 
to the witches 
of Chicago, 

swallows swimmers 
and bystanders 
until they drown, 

takes as many 
to the bottom, 
until they reach 

the other shore, 
the nirvana 
of the Buddha, 

extinguished lives, 
boiled half-alive 
in the cauldron, 

a dozen eggs, 
with a few cracked, 
albumin seeps 

out from pressure, 
lacking balance, 
we all fall down.
