RIMA LII

Giant waves that break with a roar
on faraway windswept beaches…
wrapped in a sheet of white foam,
            take me with you!

Violent gusts of wind that tear
the withered leaves from the forest…
dragged along by the whirlwind,
            take me with you!

Storm clouds torn by lightning
and trimmed with a border of fire…
carried away in a cloud of dark fog,
            take me with you!

Take me, for pity’s sake, where vertigo
will hide my conscious memories…
For pity’s sake… I am afraid to be here
            with my pain, all alone!
