SUMMER’S FAULT

Folder: 
Satish Verma

It was like homecoming of 
timber rattle snake. 
A bit jarring. 

Signs were acquitted, 
when the summer becomes 
sensuous at dusk. 

I start collecting the colors 
from sky. The night was 
moving behind the moon- 

like a concubine, in black 
skirt. Amidst the gray clouds 
a green man was laughing. 

The death’s translation 
was simple. Nobody will 
attend the funeral of sun.
