The Foe

1

i don’t see you now

i didn’t see you yesterday

i won’t see you tomorrow

2

i passed by your side

only the air was seen

only the smell remained

3

i put a bucketful of snow

to a dry pot of cactus to grow

the withered spines didn’t show

4

i hum a melody

it reached your ear

you never heard it clear

5

a traitor  turned his head

from the truth of what you did

upholding the lie instead

6

a person who’s your foe

give him bread he’ll say it’s dough

never been baked the taste is raw
