The Best Poem Of Lea Beima Dorestin

After 2010: A Mourning In Delmas

Delmas 42;
Near the dump down the road
Or is it ‘dumps' since it is
Split by a road?

I, not too long landed home
Leaving untouched assignments
At my house,
But in 30 seconds that thought
Was long gone as much as a hundred thousand.

Driving through the familiar
Yet so unfamiliar road;
For this place had
A medical surgery
Which left it beyond recognition,
But you'd think that
After five years this place
Would look less like a campsite?

After six years,
Reuniting again
To send another one off.
After five years of agony
The job was completely done;
Such a bittersweet moment.

On that Wednesday,
Mommy was insupportable.
I wondered how it felt
To lose my mum?

It is funny how I didn't
Truly understand anything
Yet my heart was drowning;
Such a mockery.
For I don't have rather
Don't wish to have
The experience gained
On that Tuesday.

Left the building,
Up St Antoine.
Dirty hands
And me, in my thoughts,
‘Another one gone'.
