I drew a burning castle

 

I said to her

‘No idea what’s the meaning of a burning castle’

She replied

 

Sometime you will know

 

Sometime is now

What that stroke did to me

Is like a burning and pillaging 

 

Sometimes you will see

 

I see ...

Now I’ll see what?

That all is better now?

 

Sometimes you will heal

 

Are you joking?

Fine, some new places are opened now

but the burning hurt badly

 

Sometimes the question echoes

And the answer goes walk-about
