From When To WhereA Poem by Satish VermaIn deep bottom, at first light, I
In deep bottom,
at first light, I will give you a call. Because, I was only bones, muscles worn out in hymns and the nudes were― putting on the masks. You will not deliver― a denial, nor you will put forward the Buddhist stance. Like a curling fern you want to go in dark shade― eyes shut. The circus of stunted men and lady birds― will go on unabated. I swear by fire, The battered umbilicus will not bear any gods. A miraculous escape. I will not eat your flesh, hot and red. We start hitting each other. © 2020 Satish Verma |
