Coming Full Circle

Folder: 
Satish Verma

This was the surrealistic
nightmare.

Omitting the guilt
I will paint a nude.

It was not kind of
pink. Cosy with words―
you will polish the legend,
misspell the murder.

Transfixed I enter
the still life. You come
out with bound hands
to say goodbye.

Sometimes I feel, it is
not over. The sap of black
pine becomes red.
Needles prick me, not to move.

You fold the holy book
and put it in bag.

Kingly

This poem seems writ 

As if upon the table of

Great philosopher king.
