the white sheet

the white sheet

A Poem by Swaroop Manikandan

That was a misty winter night
We of course lit the fire together
Just little fire and
more and more unjust smoke.
Not sure that we tried to
flame it up
for once we threw our firewood
in the greater sea.
What remained was then
a combination of mist and smoke.
Little white and little grey.
But tell me one thing,
was that really a milky white sheet,
covering us in those moments?

Is the fire a metaphor for passion? This works at face value and as a metaphor? Were both intended? I like your use of just and unjust in this.

Your poems are really good there's a hint that there's something sensual but you don't out right say it which makes me wonder what really happened?
Enjoyed this one. Well done
