Asking For SovereigntyA Poem by Satish VermaIt was a cloudburst- from your saddened eyes.
It was a cloudburst-
from your saddened eyes. I want you to hurt me. Like blood fingers writing a name in sky-of a towering fault.The sin 0f unabandoning a hymn. The breach will swallow the lamb.I would not know of the Aquila, how big were its wings. Burn me in your eyes. O goddess, why you always look like a fireball? O liberty, what was the color of your torn gown? The aconites and anemones have beautiful buttercups. How would you drink the lethal dose? © 2018 Satish Verma |
