We Must Dissolve Poem by Naveed Akram

We must dissolve and reunite like water molecules,
Still the names are mentioned to be exact like my weapon,
But these words frequent the pages for the exact men,
Because we ponder and understand these talking points.

We must be like water, innocent and afraid of heat,
So that destinies are proud objects so loveable by the rest,
We must have death like the coffins of mahogany and summer,
Only we have the residues of this chemical reaction.

The summer heat unbearably strikes free on our backs,
Like courage of the mountain, and beauty of the hedges,
Names of the ghosts are upon our lips so entwined,
Like the follies of a tree that grows and grows and dies.
