Punitive autumnal school

Among the peeled walls in the belfry hall
I was stuck in my old school.
Nobody was found in the classroom.
On the blackboard seemed full of unanswerable questions?
The summer and winter almost over
And I was waiting in the corridor
To show my neglected homework book to the literature teacher.
But she has already transferred to the life-school.
The flamboyant trees still laden with fruits and flowers
But I was stranded in the circle of illiteracy?
With all my scribblings and lost identity.

*Fermentation: One of our qualities-Sensuality,Views,Becoming and ignorance,that ferment in in the kind of flow out of it,creating the flood of the round of death and rebirth.
[Buddha's teachings.]
