Soothsayer Has Nothing To SayA Poem by Satish VermaThe bird of prey had the dignity. With
The bird of prey
had the dignity. With hooked bill ant sharp talons he sings the victim― a death. Salt was invented by faithfulls. Petunias would not betray in summer. A bleeding heart cries before the adversary. The stones regret after the lithographer left. There was a fault in design. Shards in the ink; You cannot kiss the script. The perforations leak in pain. Something obstructs the void I have come afar from the lies. There was no truth in peace. © 2019 Satish Verma |
