FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

THE REJECTED WORK OF THE TRYING HARD WRITER
WHOSE WORK WAS THROWN IN BANGKEROHAN RIVER

there ARE those
who by their own cruelties
as critics
threw all your new born
babies
in Bangkerohan river

though fond of abortions
and experiences about
premature deaths
somehow you are hurt
and went to tears
secretly

you are taught, only those
Silent Ones shall be
winners

they keep on telling you that
but your ears are
hardheaded and this alone

amazes you. Glad to know
you are different like me.

Make love again. Pregnant
for all days. And deliver all
the babies you can bear

do not tire naming all of them.
do not regret giving them all away.

They are not yours anyway.
Did they not tell you that God
owns them all ?
