Trifling Flesh

Shahriyer Hossain Shetu


Cunning, almost incessantly,
I am being watched by the black vulture.

Willing to devote my life to it,
Myself to it; I honored His Majesty. 

Such fortune never comes with a small price.
One life wasn’t enough and not even was thrice.

Eat me while my meat is still fresh.
Carrion, I am, ignored like trash.
