I know cut one’s branch by one’s axe

By David Aoloch Bion

In noon

The man took axe

Climbed,

Sat on the branch of tree

Started to cut

The same branch

He sat on

Someone warned him

‘’you’re cutting your branch

You sit on, you’ll fall down’’

‘’I know’’

The   man replied

And continued cutting branch

Another person warned

‘’you’re cutting your branch

You sit on, you’ll fall down’’

‘’I know ‘’

The man replied

And continued cutting branch

In the blink,

The branch cut

The man fell down

Badly broke his

In the groan of thigh

He wrote on

Leaves of branches

On the bough, he writes

‘’once you cut the branch

You can’t fix it again’’

On first leaf, he writes

‘’I know

Cut one’s waist’’

On second leaf, he writes

‘’I know,

Broke one’s thigh’’

On third leaf, he writes

‘’I know

Cut one’s branch’’

On fourth leaf, he writes

‘’ I know

Cut one’s waist by one’s axe’’

On fifth leaf, he writes

‘’ I know

Cut one’s branch by one’s axe’’
