The Author Died

Just this morning, my pen mourn

And drifted into slumber

I saw shadows and dusts

Babies in the pool of regrets

Anarchy in the wombs of women

There they stoop and stood

Lowering his dust and shadows 

To father-earth

In the agony of his eternal adventure

Our bones wept

Just this morning the author died.
