Bittersweet Nightshades

by Satish Verma   Feb 12, 2021


It was time to
modify the heritage?
in a delicate bid to
aid the dying.

A wrenching decision was?
to ask for an apology
from a living god.

I will crack, but
not come to you, to
invoke the grace of mercy.

The twilight sits at
my door to seek the nemesis.
Why did I swallow the moon
without asking the sky's womb?

Cocooned. Afraid
to show the scarred skin.
Your words bloom in dark,
like a cereus. I collect the fame
to light the candle in wind.
