directly below my eye

If I could reveal all that I feel for her
the avalanche of good
would kill me down
just
...

when I wake
I promise to tell everyone I know how I feel
and not to hold anything back
whether they warm to it or not

I go out of my way
to make my plans with her
and when the time nears
I dig my way to a proper excuse

with your heart of strings there
hidden fruit in the back of the fridge to share

The Best Poem Of f. berhan kebede

Small Talk

Watching some of my favorite films
I think of those watching the same scenes
at the same time
for the first time
and I have a laugh and a cry
all at the same time
What pity for you fools who have yet to exhaust
lines that frauds across this land have used for their
comforting small mindedness
or simply just to get a point across
dreading the scrunch in your face
as I try to explain what I have just said
adding you to the joke
later
with friends
or people just as ignorant
-
These are the things I think of whenever forced to talk with people I would never
if my life was my own
