Graduation
One night, late, I woke up with the thought
that every moment is a point of no return,
and I became afraid.
A few hours before,
The pink-tipped flowers pinpointed
Their faces in the purple matte glass
And the farewell light
Of the bright, auburn sun
Made everything drastic –
I recalled
A while before
At the school I finally loved
And my teacher who cried at
The end of the day
Because we gave him meaning.
My mom once said
In their thirties
People look back
And their memories come to them.
I still have to recall
My memories
Because tonight, wherever I am tomorrow
I am not there yet
I'm not there,
Like my teacher who cried
At the end of school
A few hours before sunset
When I saw the fake flowers
And woke up in bed
Remembering that many things were over
And many begun
In the future when I don't
Have to call
For my memories to come to me.
