Wearing Ear-Plugs

A Poem by Satish Verma

Wearing Ear-Plugs

Unreturning
I will honor my commitment.
I will face the
volcano alone.

The burning pit―
inspires me. The eternal
flames. There was nothing
blended. Not alloyed.

I shall not forget―
the curves, the falls. The
flowing down of the
stream from godhood.

The half moon, where
does it will land?
Umbilicus kinks. You break
the anatomy.

Like radiation, I
am turning gray.On
extremes, there was no light
nothing dark.
