Sympathy

Evokes itself in uncertainty
Stays as an uncomfortable zone
to the seeker and the giver.
Sadness in each others' eyes
is like the tears of a fish:
A pondful or not even a glint.

Imagining ourselves
in the densest darkness around
We invest for future
like the money on wall street
It sways, it stays
It is all uncertain
Behind the flowery curtain.
