“ሳለ – ለሌለ”
እየታለ . . . እየተሌለ
በመሸ – ነጋ – መሸ
እንደነበረ . . . እንዳለ
እንዳደረ . . . እንደ – ዋለ
እንዲሁ . . . እንደ – ዋተተ
“መኖር”ን እንደ – ሞገተ
“ኗሪ” ሳይኖር . . .
ኖረ . . . ኖረና – ሞተ።
ተኖረ …… ተኖረና……. ተሞተ
ተሞተና – ተለቀሰ
ዕንባ እንደ ጅረት ፈሰሰ
ደረት – እንዳፈር ፈረሰ፤
ምድረ ቡትቷም . . . ርንቁስ – ደሀ!
ተቃቀፈና አነባ!
ለማንም . . . ምንም . . . ላይረባ!
ግና! . . . ያረፈ
እንዳላረፈ . . . አረፈ
አየ . . . አየና – አለፈ ፡፡
“ትቢያ” ነበር “ትቢያ!” ለበሰ
ለሟች – ኗሪ . . .
ለኗሪ ሟች . . . ወግ ደረሰ!

Dear Joye,
Greetings and sympathy for a shared sorrow,
Do you have this man’s book? I loved his poems on the printing press
posters but couldn’t get more than 4 or so poems. Please share if you do.
With kind regards,
Martha H.

Marthye, so glad to hear from you. I’ve contact with Gash Kifle, and will ask him if he will re-print them or if we can share them.
That would be wonderful Joye. Thanks for the reply.
