Farther Away

Satish Verma

To disconnect oneself 
you push apart, from the stasis, 
like flesh from the bones. 
Coming home becomes dreadful 
when you discover yourself. 

A dark energy impels you 
in a cosmos which was drifting 
towards eternity. A fight between 
space & time ultimately settles 
for a second life. 

Paralysed mind goes into dementia. 
A riverbed, waterless, where you can dig out 
the ancient marbles, edifice of a great flaming past. 
It was obscene. At a hunger meet 
tables were set with delicious cuisine.
