By Ayat Jalal
Coffins are not carpeted
There not for standing
Linolium is useless
As the imagined dreams,
some believe they’ll be having
The padding is for comfort
to those left standing,
Imagining death’s visions
going over the width,
Linoliums length and pattern
hoping for a like padding.
Maddening.
How many comrades
died for standing.
For them
do more than stand.
Ancestral Spirits
Have no care for carpets
The padding useless as
linolium in the streets.
Where some are taking back land
Because coffins are not carpeted
We must do more than stand
