Extinct phoenix

[Mohammad Ahmad]

Dramatic series
Comes as usual
To a mind
Where conception is never ready at one's mind
Mythologically relates
All fabulous stories
Extinct phoenix
Comes again
It takes another shape
Like a hern walking near basins
Of that dated history of such extinct bird
To croak at our valleys
Then a wolf comes inside
Thus, all forests are one refuge
Whilst tempted refugees go after
Gathering in their classes
Gathering out of their societies
As the place becomes to those extinct
No one will be alive
All will die
But the extinct animal-like
To tread on all new lands
As well as all rusted ships
Be driven
Once that extinct bird is the shipmaster
And all our canaries white or coloured
Prisoners in cages
And the smoke of history creep
To remind minds
That our history is extinct
