Waist-High Sunk

Waist-High Sunk

A Poem by Satish Verma
"

When you release the words, your curled fingers

"
When you release the 
words, your curled fingers 
burst into flame. 

It was an ancient filth, 
a bird fighting in the mud- 
house of quote-unquote. 

Someone navigated 
over the bald heads to find 
a landing place for a cuckoo. 

Between real and fiction, 
you cannot write a hymn 
in praise of satan, called god. 

I am done with the darkness 
all around, and rip open 
the wall to let in the jupiter.
