After The Ceremony
Folder:
Satish Verma I would be riding
your stumps― to
byzantine castle
of ardor.
It was not
my thesis― to make
me blithsome.
You were your own enemy.
In a crushed phenomenon
I was sketching you
in coal, without scratching
the face on moon-paper.
The room
crumbles. Space shrinks.
I cannot touch you
in moments, in time.
What I bequeathed
remains unclaimed.
