For Whom The End Waits?A Poem by Satish VermaFor Whom The End Waits?
Saturday.
Night cries again. Can I call you midnight to kill the moon― and celebrate the dark? A book and sitting on the birthmark of a fig tree's thigh in the temple of a failed god, I haul up the stains and blues. Dirty linens. You would faint in the stale smell of jasmines. How often you loved to weave the white beads into a lace for your bun? Small things. We look at each other to drift away. Night lamp struts and flops. There war no end of pink aches. Stay aloud. Sky was listening. Where is the god? © 2021 Satish Verma |
