Awakening

Folder: 
Satish Verma

I am writing off all the symbols, 
will not wait for the judgement 
and cross the boundaries. 

I am not you, 
I am not him, 
a blemished soul 
it wants to be set free. 

Conjugating fever at large 
colliding, colliding with guts of needles. 

Tasting ambrosia of pain, 
oedipus asking for another name. 

I am offloading the ancient guilt 
give me some time. 

I do not want any clouds to follow me, 
my words are scented with streaks of blood 
and shine when only the cinders arrive.
