Gambled Wrong Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

When you let
Your paramour
Eat me out of a room
I rented in your heart
Prior
I became your bride groom,
Forebode, your liberty, a predicament
A marital earth-quick, divorce!

So be it
walk down the aisle
With your paramour
And behind me slam the door
Ashore, a wrack brushed aside
Pensive, love to passion
Is exchanged,
Averse to the
Tragic drama that does unfold
My tails amid my legs tagged
Away shall recede I the jilted.

But make note my dear,
If you dare
To barter a
Husband for a paramour
The paramour
Husband turned
Will question for sure
Him whether
You genuinely adore
For, if for him
You can steal
Steal from him you will.
