It hanged in the balance

One fierce lash of the flame and gust without lungs 

Set the scales in motion once again but this trial could not be waged in water laden plates

Justice reeled and the devil played errantly as she danced the fine line.

The smoke trapped in the flue gave rise to unseen dynamics of the wind.

In this haze gravity reversed.

The players unraveled, the joker laughed at the fool and the lovers

Now dalits.
