In memory of Kaka Karim Jan

Time will
Remember how
I was looking

Down upon
Newly wetted
Earth

And my shoes
Are pressing into
This earth

The mud
Accepting my shoes
Soiling

Becoming soiled
No concerns
Any more

Because all will be laid
To rest
You will be

Resting
Untouched
Except by

The earth
Forever
Remembering you
