A free verse poem inspired by Michael Ondaatje's "Sweet Like a Crow" Your gaze is like a puzzle piece waiting to be solved like a secret door that leads to the unknown Like a never ending maze, like the Mariana Trench like a series of hieroglyphs like a question that holds no true answer like a vague response of neither “Yes” nor “No” but a “Maybe so” like a multiple choice questions with the choice “none of the above” like a five- star Sudoku puzzle, a game of charade like the moon blocked by curtain of thick clouds a veil of mist that covers the mountain morning fogs that blur the ray of sun like a story with a cliffhanger at the end Like a deep poem that I struggle to understand like someone acting pantomime, a silent movie like someone trying to conceal their feelings yet giving hints with indefinite meanings
