i went back to those footprints
which ihad left outside in the courtyard
which you had cleaned, and covered
with sweet nice coat of dung mixed with clay
if i erase these prints, i will leave new marks of erasure,
i decided to erase the prints of past
to leave the print of present
next time you paint the courtyard again
to welcome new times, seasons, scents of blooms,
u decide what you will do with these marks
