Postmortem - 1

I promised myself
not to remember a tree
when I saw
a face of a stranger
on my father's gravestone

as if my father never lived with yellow skin
with yellow nails
with yellow eyes

it was all me
because I had a face of this man from the gravestone
promised myself not to rememer a tree
|                |                }

it lies
|          |

[I've never had a father]
