The best poetry

Anjaneya Mahadev Temple with ice around near Manali, 2014.
I am not God
I do not make destiny
I must abide
By
What is served to me;
I cannot object
I cannot regret
The game is not over
Yet
Let the rules be unclear;
You taught me
How to write
Not to have extras
To abbreviate
Keep the necessary;
So be it, with life
Subtract bit by bit
Die
Slowly and steadily
Until
It is the best poetry.
