WALKING TOELESS

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.
