WALKING TOELESS by Satish Verma Sunday, August 26, 2012 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Stone by stone you kill me. Petal by petal I die - holding a scalpel to unwrite my name. Violence erupts among words. A temple breaks. O goddess! don't cry beyond silence. The infant's milk spills in darkness. Antiquity raises a wall around the mother. I am vanishing now, freezing my assets. Satish Verma

Very powerful, Satish! You've come a long way, on a tortuous path, scalpels are meant to cut. Infant dying from freedom? Self? Other? In the end, becoming frozen sounds pretty good, to me. Guess we all need to wake up soon, or miss the final countdown. Or, so I see in this piece, plus myself. Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen
