Life's Mangled Knots

Everything's mangled up with knots
houses with walls,
roads with lost trails,
streams with rivers,
and the sea with its waves

Oh Man!
People with their shams, with old strings,
loosely tied
Days mangled with nights,
and time, with clock's hands,
roots knotted with each other in lands,
and hearts, bonded with dismal love

On my mind, bygones have riddles and untieable knots,
and the frame on the wall,
your desolate and teary eyes, for years,
magically mangled with mine

Thank you, MPD,

     A very structured poem! First the poem talks about the explicit, visible, tangible, and tactile manifestation of being mangled.....and then moves to the implicit, emotional, sentimental manifestation of being mangled!

    Thank you, MPD, for all your translations, thru that, I was able to understand a lot more publications on IC!

Thank you!!!!
