Ali Znaidi- A Poem

Of Death & Equality

 

death

                 equality

                                par excellence

        burial

                                in oblivion or

commemoration

                                    forever

 

drowning in water

                         w/out any trace or

preserving

                   the golden fleece

                  

                      in a Greek

masterpiece

 

an equal act,

    

                      though the performance

 

is totally different
