Breathing Again

Folder: 
Satish Verma

You dig in your heels, 
when blood spills 
under the skin. 

Refuses to go, the homeless moon, 
I will call the snow to cover the sod. 

Scavenging, 
through the stray thoughts, you 
pick up the threads, to knit― 
a scarf for the poem. 

Body born, a planet 
breaks, in your epic. The ivory 
shaving will make a white gold. 

The birth pangs start in natal pain.
