and then there were fourA Poem by Anu Biswasto him she said winter began and ended soft conversations that fell around my feet when you left leaving me tied to the space where we once stood. to the other she sighed stolen summer days sweet like luscious ripe mangoes tasted and devoured i held my own you held my breath as i gently slipped away memories of polished skin carrying me home. the rains came hard and with them brought her old love sullen yet benign raging by day calm by night she extricated her demons he embraced her pain as the mountains watched unmoved. by spring her love grew reckless and light she smoothed his long hair and laughed into his beard she surrendered to his whim her poet and artist her new will to live. © 2013 Anu Biswas |
