A few of my ግጥምs

Here, kids, is my first Amharic poem at least a decade after I stopped writing in the mother-tongue. It is dedicated to Facebook, and all those whose hearts are unsettled. Who, like Oliver, can’t help but ask for [and wonder if there was not] more. To those for whom “enuff” is never enough. [That is Qine, right there. Give it time ;)].
