The Wars

by Satish Verma   Aug 14, 2017


It is.
An explosive denial
of an infinite firmness
of round orbs.

Why were you taking
off your shirt
to show the scars?
it stirs a sequestered allegation.

The glare was on my days
and your nights.
The suicide bomber was
a kid, you know.

When a poem leaves you,
how far would you go to kill
a blue jay
for the golden cage?

    This felt like a dream - or rather, a nightmare - where so many different images seem to violently cut into each other as each stanza switched to another. It was powerful and raw, with little drops of poetic air.
