BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE

Folder: 
Satish Verma

After decapitation, it was 
half-honour, 
half-land, 
and half-bread. 
We had prepared ourselves for epilation. 

A war for milky sap 
starts for an empty chair. 
You are asked to abandon 
your field and go for 
a hate profile. 

The gated religion now 
scars the high searing, wayward 
fronds of untangeled age 
of absent truths and 
faithful lies. 

I will go again to 
find the answer in a similar 
darkness to stand 
my unconditioned faith 
to stumilate the unflowing river.

epilation and stumilate

stumilate (simulate?) epilation: hair removal - the unflowing river could needs stimulation. Decapitation - not a word encountered often in modern times but great as a metaphor or reference to barbarism in 20th-21st Century (or wishful thinking) ~a~
