Terracotta

Folder: 
Satish Verma

With fractured hands 
I lit a pyre 
of small nudes 
with pink globes. 
A moon bleaches me white in a long night. 

A reprieve was needed 
from the scorching sun 
opening a jinx 
of a metaphor. 
The poems will take care of the burning home. 

Of deaths and forecasts 
I would like to see the 
ending of descent 
from the mount of pain 
The ice will tremble in the smoke.

The Moon is bright

On nights such as this.

Tripweed to Reality

Is being passed around.

You write some interesting

You write some interesting lines. I've taken to reading your poems out loud with this very strange voice I wish I could figure out how to describe.
