Debating The VerdictA Poem by Satish VermaThe night shift starts. A moonbeam comes and lies
The night shift starts.
A moonbeam comes and lies beside me. I was not hungry. Cuckoo gives a call I will not raise the flag. The flesh, starts eating you. Sometimes, for this unnamed, you run cross-country. Memories flare up. A primitive wolf sends a howl. You start reciting a prayer. The age, will not pardon you. Limbs spring to catch a butterfly. Noiselessly a door shuts. © 2018 Satish Verma |
