in the middle of the night before a collection of my poetry comes out
solely due to my limited talent
may my verse
be an inception
my house
can be flimsy
lost in each and every day
of my journey, incidental
verses of mine -
may they survive for just three days
they can be just a memento
of yesterday, today, and tomorrow
