Can You See Me?A Poem by Satish VermaCan You See Me?
The last moments
float on unspilled words. I will give you a call― from body to body, to reach my voice― across the time, zones and history. You wouldn't dream me. I'm not ready to give up. A moth takes the flight― strikes a hot teardrop shaped light bulb. Brick walls hold back the sea. The rage attacks a black sun? Why do you think of vanishing without a cause? Hairless the moon cries. Pink peony waits for the sick gods. Vocal cords vibrate. No vowels come out. A naked speech becomes museum. © 2021 Satish Verma |
