Tragedies

by Satish Verma   Dec 3, 2017


A tribal kill;
after a blood sucking
ritual.
Do you have a problem?

*

Hovering wasps
will land at will, on
tardy syntax
and misspelt masks.

*

The clouds
have wit and intelligence.
Will drop rains
on venoms.

    This reminds me of a few different pieces, such as the kidnap poem by Nikki Giovanni and the circus is cheaper when it rains by Iain S. Thomas.

    It reminds me of kidnap because of the style, the flow, the swiftness and the subtlety of the words even though they carry intense power. And the circus is cheaper when it rains because of the emotion and the imagery and the uniqueness of the message being presented. I am in no way saying this is plagerism, I am simply appreciating the connection I was able to make, because in truth this is incredibly different from both, but has similar roots - if that makes sense.

    I also really enjoy your voice here, and I'm eager to read more of your work in the future.
