The Finale

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Sometimes horizon roams with moon 
I pluck the stars 
night drizzles from the dark clouds. 

A shadow falls on the door 
without struggle or rumor 
I know he has come, my guest 
the survivor of genocide. 

He has come a long way 
a message on his parched lips 
he rubs hands. 

Inferno he says. Holocaust he 
murmurs. It is here again, 
whole world is under siege. 

He tells me, do something for the grass. 
Ask your god to come back from domes.
