I will never forget that Saturday…
a poem
I will never forget that Saturday
when I heard the news that you’re gone
it took a lot of winding roads
yet too many fates remained unturned;
I collected all the things that connected us
movies we watched together when I was a kid
or rather, sneaking behind your back
glancing at James Bond women in negligees
bending their bodies and luring the masculinity
to their triviality
I wove them in my little world
added a dash of crime from my mother’s hands
when you left us on one ghastly Saturday
she turned into the worst of beasts
protecting problems and tangling them more
like the most vicious enemy
not a loving getter;
I found relief in talking to you
you speak to me every time I work my ass off
workaholics, that’s what the world calls us
as we sail downstream in a speedboat
never enough is our motto;
the river was your favourite, so that’s where I go
for inspiration and a piece of thought
to hone my craft like yours until it shines
and resonates with booming hues
screaming that it’s coming from inside me
children come out in the same way from others who
want to leave a mark
this is mine, be careful and avoid the dung
that others have spread, I’m giving it here
not yet fully ripe, the time will come
fully prepared, consolidated, thought out
with the greatest help from the master’s hands
