Dixit K. C. is a writer from Nepal currently living in Finland. In poetry, he finds a way of expressing some reflections about life, death and the memories that remain through time and space. His poem “At the End” describes the marks in History that show us that endings are a part of humankind.
AT THE END
The endings are here to stay
when the stories are told
because how they end
will not necessary be
how things were
in between when
life happened.
Like the snowflakes
whose glories are lost
as the earth warms up
never allowing the snowmen
to complete their poems
describing how they
fell for the lights
that flickered
in their direction
in those sunless nights.
The endings are here to stay
when the battles are lost
because when the dead
are buried, their part of
the story dies with them.
What remains is a mark
that conveys how long
and seldom how well
they lived and
how hard they fought.
