My life
Just twenty years more
Assumed of..

I cogitate..
Be righteous the best
Austere, spiritual
I expiate sins
Little and little of the whole chore
Pledges then my pristine heart
A goal of five hundred poems
Readable, referable
To my own achievement
Years pass away
Quiescence in satiation
But..but
Rejuvenated mind cognitive
Of my would-be rebirth
My assumption
Of me a songstress born nascent
Again a girl..
Back past masticating the mind..
All the lessons from my teacher and guide
A philosopher allthrough for what I am
Whom my voice has endorsed
My mother..my mother..
My father too
Born to them same again?
Assuming the finale..
