The Pillars in The Body

Midnight had passed

over the sand where my people lived

and waited for morning.

The mornings had previously peeped

in the holes of my people's poor

worn out shoes that were tired

of old leather's weight.

The night's air had touched

the heart of my sand
before it disappeared mystriously

in the eyes of morning.

After my people had been divided

in low and high caste
the morning arrived

stunningly.
