አቃጅ
ቢሆን ባይሆን ብሎ …..ማቀድ ለምንድነው?
ሰው መሆን በራሱ …..ያቃጁ እቅድ ነው
አቀጁ ካለበት…. እቅዱን እስኪያጸድቅ
አልያም ተጸጽቶ ….. ዶሴውን እስኪቀድ
እንደ ጅረት ውሀ ዝ….ም ብሎ መፍሰስ ነው
አፈሳሰስ ደግሞ….. ፍቺው ለየቅል ነው
አንድም ቋጥኝ መዝለል….. መ ፈ ነ ጣ ጠ ር ነው
አልያም ጎዳና ላይ ….. ድንጋይ ስር መቅረት ነው ::

The Planner
Why do we even make plans?
Being human is like being the plan
of another planner/planet,
so that in some way you are always
a plant in some-one else’s plan
and so until the planner decides to
change the plan
or unless the planner decides to
dismiss the plan
you are beautifully sitting there,
plain plan man.
Like the flow of the river, determined
by the shape of the land in any situation. But
how to flow
is a very different question.
You can either carefully step on the rocks
or you can simply decide to flow under
the rocks and be forgotten forever.
Two rocks, still out there—
to shape your flow and course.
