This poem I wrote after my brother came to visit me... again it was such a disappointment... after I wrote this poem I decided to let it go... sometimes we have to accept life as it is... without expectations...





His Heart...


Yesterday
he came to see me
after many years
of silence
but soon… very soon
I realized
we still speak
a different language…

Yes…
he came to see me
but…
he left his heart
at home...

Very sad but good writing!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie
