The Last Card by Adam Zameenzad

3/6/2019

I play my last card,
I win!
Hurrah
Hurrah hurrah hurrah…..

The last card is played
the music stopped
the tables put away

There is no card left to play
no place to play it in
and it’s many months from home

A gust of cold wind
Puts its arms around me
surrounds me
lifts me up
and holds me within itself
tenderly

I float,
In the womb
Once again,
The protective womb
Which
will nourish me
and cherish me
and sing me lullabies
of love
until I am ready

ready to be dead.

But no!
I must come out of this womb,
This womb of death,
alive

I must,
for I still have
one last card to play.

    From his daughter Samia.
    ​
    Sadly, Adam passed away in December 2017 and as his daughter I am going to continue to promote his work, not only for him and his legacy but I truly believe that his words need to be heard.
    I will be promoting some of his work on this page; to include many of his unpublished poems and thoughts.  I will be grateful for all support and would ask you to share and like his page and his work.
