DISTRAUGHT

Folder: 
Satish Verma

A long pause 
after my signature peel 
of the spasm. 

It was a broken flight 
of an anguished 
end in itself. 

Retrograding toward 
an apolitical fault 
for an apology. 

Illegal, soaring, preparing 
to take a dive 
in the pit of fire. 

For a gospel truth you 
take cloak off the dagger. 
You will sell your nudes.

I have not heard that phrase "It's the Gospel truth" in a long long time...the reworking works nicely - Stella
