PREPARING FOR NOTHINGNESS

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Like the thinker, 
why did you not- 
become thoughtless? 

You do not display 
what have you not. 
you come out in bazaar. 

Surviving in darkness 
in the depth of the─ 
inverted sea. 

The rise and fall of 
the chest gleaming with 
water and flame. 

The want, the 
desire, the thirst, kissing 
the inappropriate.
