How Come : Life

written by Poet : EC


I stand by a grave
newly dug, but unknown to me
how come?

The grave is mine, but I'm not
the possession me isn't mine anymore
how come?

Why do I own only to lose it again?
An inheritance from far back
mine - but not anymore
how come?

I turn to walk away, but can't
nothing in mind or body carries weight anymore
how come?

Are we to tell ourselves what ultimate losses are?
or are we being informed?
if not, how come?
