Poem: "Time feeds on time" (Dedicated to poet Billy Collins)
Hi, how are you?
i just hope that it is publishable:
Time feeds on time
1
How delicately
we try to live
but
every second
bangs the
drum of death
Life
is nothing
but
a path of light
in the orchard
of eternal darkness
2
Mother
with the smoke
through the chimney
like you
everything good
is gone
I survived alone
perhaps for too long
to see
many more monsters
and to learn nothing
It seems
this world
wants me to take
the same exam
over and over
It also seems
the world has promised
not to fail me
and
I've promised
not to learn
If
that is not the case
then why
do I not pass this test
when I know
I'm able
to pass it
3
Father
you loved nature
You were more interested
in collecting plant specimens
than earning bread
for your family
You had no friends
neighbors hated you
I was ashamed of you
But now
I know
wilderness
is better
than the human civilization
on any given day
4
No
I've not published
those poems
During the war
meaning
evaporated
from every single
word
Leaving behind
many miniature
bright white skeletons
5
I look
and
I laugh
How people
are dreaming
of
past present and future
Time
Is nothing
But
A geometric point
Where
are they going
thank you
Salman S.
