Burnt Out Words

Tryst with nano was like burning in hell. 
Headless body of truth, 
turning into invisible particles 
flaunts an absent God. 

The mist envelops a rag picker – 
sleeping on the payment. 
Hunger fresh grown will be served, 
when sun rises. 

Indelible ink an yellow pages 
bearing the burden of unborn grief 
inherits this globe, the ashes 
of burnt out words.
