I Am Burning My Bridges

Folder: 
Satish Verma

To search you 
I am burning my wheels. 

Put your hands 
on my shoulders 
for opening the book. 
To read the message 
between the words. 

When the time comes 
I want you 
to smear my ashes 
on the stones of footpath. 
I want them 
to walk on me 
and dissolve their steps. 

Stop looking 
at me. 
To reach you 
I am burning my bridges.
