*return To Ashes

by Satish Verma   Sep 20, 2017


Holding the thread,
I catch you in midstream.
A moon was watching.

*

The summer sends
the salt. You start licking
the red beans.

*

Let me fold
your hands. I am planting
the wild kisses.

*Again for Gustav Klimt.

    I cannot decipher this. First stanza I can't help to feel as river night fishing. The return to ashes maybe where ashes were once released into the river.

    Second stanza may refer to the preparation of the caught fish.....Gustav Klimt is a Austrian painter (loved his tranquil waters)

    Last stanza...my only idea is maybe a reference to his painting kiss.
