The Old Palace

A rectangle of cloud and sky

mirror in the old well

All around the remnants

of the old palace

Mosaics and carvings

Covered with dust

Bracelet, juwel and crown

Flung on the ground

Of the entry hall

Unhindered winds move in

From the broken window sills

And the rays

Of the morning sun

Nobody attends the scene

The master has been away

For so long

Back
