Pale Confession

Folder: 
Satish Verma

How can you talk to the moon 
when the trees were watching? 
It was her last sojourn 
before boarding the illegal 
traffic of clouds. 

Pallbearers were always ready 
to do something 
religious like carrying 
a god to the temple. I was not 
sure it was midnight syndrome 
of apoplexy. 

Deep into the blue eyes 
lies the inconceivable page 
of unprinted book of a 
failed attempt to harness 
the darkness for a connection to unknown.
