OF TIME AND CHAINS

satishverma

A quest for celestial insanity 
brings some comfort. 
Somewhere the script had failed. 

Only man was not responsible 
for the exiled sun. 
No longer the earth obeys the numbers. 

Wait, my mother 
I will enter into your bones 
and increase the serotonin flow. 

A father killed his daughter 
for the sake of a dragonfly. 
Downstairs moon was sleep-walking. 

A constant dialogue 
between flesh and a tyrant 
was satisfying the sadistic god.

    the powerful images you make with your words leave me in awe of your ability as a writer. I especially love the line downstairs moon was sleeping... wow!
