酷我-北美枫

[anna]

The iron pole stands
in the center of the basement.
Dark skin exposed,
cold silence pierced,
he refuses to budge.

You cannot wrestle him
or twist him -
with his power,
anytime, he can expose
you to his flooding anger.

But you can renovate him –
wrapping him with strips of woods,
tricking him with fancy borders
at the top and the bottom.

Now he is satisfied-
like feet on the ancient Roman Square,
he wears his imperial title and a superior look.

You smile and welcome
visitors
with sunshine.
