Ephemeral
Ephemeral
Okay, this is life;
Arriving one day,
departing another day...
Leaving garments in the closet,
Shoes kept waiting forever,
Not reading,
Not sleeping,
Not hearing,
Not answering,
But now that you're gone;
The body of poems aches,
As if all the A letters were torn out from every verse!
-Ali Hedayati
