Final Cut (part ii)
Ghazal of Uncertainity
A life of what ifs is exciting albeit dangerous
Living in second guesses and self doubt
The nomadic snail sets off on its destination while the rain subsides
Its fate’s unwritten- on soles of giants will it thus end?
The kitten meows in hunger as a stranger comes
A kind soul? Or one that will snip its left ear?
Even a wondrous looking butterfly flies in hurried search
To mate before the day- its splendor, its story, ends
Oh where has your master gone dear old dog?
Your skin is starting to scab- what will your next fate be?
Fadzli, what lies ahead you will not know
But of now you know and of now, should you let your heart show?
*Inspired by Alfian Saat’s A History of Amnesia. Ghazals, origated from Persia, generally consists of couplets (usually 6 or 7) where each couplet can stand independently as a poem in itself.
