why shall i ask you to wait

why shall i ask you to wait

for the bells to ring the time

of laying the wreath

on the grave of those

poems which were written to myself

but which ended up creating

expectations all around,

every tree in bloom

felt that these poems were celebrating

the arrival of spring

when i had actually only narrated the

solemn demise

of certain hopes

that be better laid to rest

after all, do we sow the seeds in desert when

drought has alredy begun
