Homeward

by Satish Verma   Oct 23, 2018


Suddenly, the full moon
pops up soundlessly. I was stunned
by sheer nakedness.

*

Will you catch a
butterfly for my reluctant wine?
I had invited the black roses.

*

A city does not
sleep any more, after the call
of service, fumbling with the locks.

    Wow. This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a few weeks.

    I am also stunned by the sheer neckedness of moon reflected on this piece!!
