COMING OUT OF SKIN

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Celebrating 
the midnight at target shooting 
making away of yourself. 

The morning smells coming from 
your axillae? 
I cannot believe my 
jaundiced eyes. 

The blue night abusing 
the white moon – 
in a sizzling sky. 
Hedonism? 

I will keep your name 
on the brink, before 
I jump into fire. 

What was the secret of the 
lovers, who left their belongings 
before disappearing into dark woods?
