Nigeria, May 17 -- Today I am forgetting you, With generosity And love And speech of words, That broke from my heart Infused with life.

This night shall turn me, Into a shadow And it moves like a ghost Over the grave, And the lantern Gives birth.

I don't judge you I don't silence you I keep my heart open, For you In dream and time That has fallen into dust.

Sidharth P K (India)
