Taking On

Folder: 
Satish Verma

It was a fast 
against truth, in support 
of unbidden body 
which took the history lesson. 

A star is born 
out of midnight accident. 
Darkness deems dark 
in siege of self-restraint. 

An embattled self 
seeks a counting. The money 
speaks in absence, to clear 
the debt of tears. 

No longer 
the eyes will look at 
the marriage of trans-blue veins 
in legs of seedless dreams.
