Beat by beat heard, <br />pulse in mother’s womb, <br />question being asked, <br />whether mail or female, <br />I answered ' I don’t know' <br /> <br />Was the feeling lovely, <br />word by word remembered, <br />when recalled at ease, <br />remained unanswered, <br />why? ' I don’t know' <br /> <br />looked at the eyes, <br />tried to read between lines, <br />for ayes and no's <br />pushed mind very hard, <br />mind humbled, why? <br />'I don’t know' <br /> <br />ready to leave empire, <br />hut for palace, <br />and life to death, <br />no reson, why? <br />I don’t know, <br /> <br />was a 'wait' correct phrase, <br />answer for real, <br />can hunt be still on, <br />but for what? <br />I don’t know, <br /> <br />Will I die without? <br />Fulfillment of love, <br />is the life not so simple? <br />Or with tragic end” <br />I don’t know, <br /> <br />when you hit me back, <br />with rose or simple 'no' <br />is desire a crime? <br />Really one has to die? <br />Or go mad, why? <br />I don’t know<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-don-t-know-64/
