SURVIVAL
by Satish Verma

Unslept-
hangman, flees from the noose.
The day had come to execute.
A thought had become a fear
but fear was not a thought.

Naked in the moon
a wolf wants move of something
leaning on the hills of thirst,
bitten by the views of cemetery.

The landscape
was changing. You want to cover your head
with a topi, standing on the edge
of a lake before you are drowned
under the burning eyelids.

A Buddha smiles from
the shelf. How can you fill the emptiness
of a bowl, which has
hundred holes?

Reviewed by Roger Wayne Eberle 8/24/2012
I like the essence of emptiness in your last stanza. There is no void quite like the spiritual emptiness or shallows conveyed by the excellence of your hyperbole here.

Good one, Satish.

Roger
