MY WAY CAME NOT MY WAY

Yukunno Ghirmay

Free verse
Appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful things

appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful occasions

appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful knacks

appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful thanks

appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful knowhows

appeasing
unlike
unlike beautiful arsenals

not
to take my surprises
to grave

I was in a middle
of
placing my grave
placing my funeral
placing my body

the flower
or many

then I heard
'May you be left
 behind.'

For
I have left
my grave
my funeral
my body (place)
simply behind.
