Unexpectedly by Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal

If I go unexpectedly,

share a little something about me

to those who knew me

who might not have known

I wrote a little poetry.

Let them know I wrote about stars,

moonlight, and birds. I do not

care to go anonymously.

Let those I knew that I

cared about them and often

wished them well and meant it.

Let them know I took photos

of the sun at different hours.

Tell them I always tried my best

to make others feel happy.

If I go unexpectedly,

tell those who knew me I wrote

a little something every day without fail.

Tell them I would write 

like if I was running out of time.

Born in Mexico, Luis lives in California and works in the mental health field in Los Ángeles. His poems have appeared in Ariel Chart, Fearless, Mad Swirl, The Rye Whiskey Review, and Unlikely Stories.
