Notes About The Poem

Shikata Na Gai Poetry Contest, Sponsor- Silent One. Date written: 11/08/2024

It Is What It Is


state of affairs 
     entombed in pieces;
crumbs of it scatter 
     every which way...
at the mercy 
     of erratic winds,
and its next-to-impossible 
     to gather 
in a heaping pile.
     nothing can be done;
it's beyond my control.
     i can't change it,
so, i adapt to it,
     i accept it 
as is.
