Destination

Certainly not

 

Certainly not
I’m certain

About the certainty of

My destiny

My life after this life

As I am to pass,
from one life to the other.

Certainly not

I’m certain

If I get a free pass to heaven

Or to perish eternally,
as part of my damnation.

Certainly not

I’m certain

Of what may happen

Today,

Tonight
Or at the end of
Uncertain tomorrow
Certainly not
I’m certain about
This and all.

Certainly not

I care very little
And bother them all
The world ends
When one dies
And the life
Does not begin elsewhere

Uncontained
It always begins afresh.

Uncertain

I am not.
Certainly
I am not
Uncertain
About my end
my destination.
My body lying on the table
and doctors to be
digging deep into it
To know the secrets of
Nature
I tell my face to wear
a smile for them.
