KEEP...

Yukunno Ghirmay

Free verse
postponing''
the automechanic
work cloth
or grease,

betraying
its
very duty.

As for me,
investigating

searching
the one

who told me

...fabrics of this
or that dress

hear- talk
more than
unlike
any wall/s...

in absentia
in absence?

''My...may I?!''
the wall.
