'take your belongings with you'...
it is early morning.
military police are searching
every house
in our vicinity.
as usual,
i am precisely
braving my plan.
the mp are nearing.
i was to witness
a miracle
to visit us
in person,
once more.
i don't know why i tried to
hide
under
the bed.
i categorically hate to use my mind (game)
when i am around my family, friends
and innocent individuals.
said, what am doing here..
thanks the cold in the tiles
reminded me
in a while i will drink cold drink
without bottle, without opening.
returned back
to the very bed
i trust till death set us free once more.
after searching for 'hiding soldier-me under bed'
the mps did their mission
and reminded their boss
'no one is hiding here!'
in a sense,
i was not hiding in my house.
this isnot the miracle
i want to return to the owner.
i said something to dad,
he was busy to attend the mps.
one of the mps was so proud
of the service dad provided them,
just came and gave me the miracle
which dad was to hear me proudly
in a while.
here we are once more
nefsiheir abraham afewerki
remade the miracle for me
forgood.
zhuledkidotsehay...mariam asmerayti!
you have left your belongings,
deliberately...abraham zseamet seven times
fewsi yseana dotibluwa?
i have no idea who the miracle serving mps were. i can't place them.
w h a t an answer!
asmera, zedlyeki kabai alekidiu kimal-alki weys bezia abile kiked...bdewey? kab me'edotat uhaduna, deseit hafeer.
just in case,
if you came across eritreans who are faceless facing their reality as if leaving their belongings....do not hurt them, do not harm them, do not deter them...leave them deep water once more watered...it won't hurt, won't harm, it won't deter the water erranding.
