Satish Verma You punish yourself
for not becoming a naught.
The triumph had
destroyed you completely.

You failed to accept the judgement.
Rendered clean after

does not show stains
of slurred concentrate.
The guilt was not the same.
It was the ephemeral moon.
Night was not going to wait.
I was not ready to sin.
