1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silence rustle like a disturbed serpent.<\/p>\n

Makes one wonder,<\/p>\n

Where is it’s poison hidden?<\/p>\n

I go an extra mile as Jesus implored<\/p>\n

To be bitten.<\/p>\n

I meditate and have visions of pure sound.<\/p>\n

Om.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be dead is good<\/p>\n

when winter comes<\/p>\n

inside a warm coffin.<\/p>\n

Ice does not resist ice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creator!<\/p>\n

The fish longs to return to the ocean<\/p>\n

Of uncreatedness.<\/p>\n

Where nobody existed<\/p>\n

Least of all ,you.<\/p>\n

Wish you did not find your hands idle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very little light is left to me.<\/p>\n

I must be frugal.<\/p>\n

I must learn to be small<\/p>\n

and invisible.<\/p>\n

An invisible flame that burns nobody<\/p>\n

but itself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was no trace of memory.<\/p>\n

We hung there like old coats on the stands.<\/p>\n

Silent and unmoving.<\/p>\n

Somebody stood up to leave.<\/p>\n

And mother briefly came to life to say<\/p>\n

“Give him something to eat.<\/p>\n

It is very dark and desolate outside.<\/p>\n

Didn’t u hear the winds howl?”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silence did not heal anything.<\/p>\n

As if being dead for sometime will restore life.<\/p>\n

People came to look at me and to pronounce me dead.<\/p>\n

They called and worried.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I learned to talk to my daughter.<\/p>\n

And found she had small words to explain big things and<\/p>\n

Pencils of light to cure my filthy darkness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flowers had a small menace.<\/p>\n

They thought the sun is not going to come over the mountains.<\/p>\n

It came however, reluctantly<\/p>\n

Giving it’s light like Pharisees.<\/p>\n

Yawning<\/p>\n

Not looking back at the exultant flowers<\/p>\n

It went back hurriedly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same person\/relationship.<\/p>\n

But now it feels like a room<\/p>\n

With my favorite chairs removed.<\/p>\n

In every relationship a sunset is there.<\/p>\n

Come evening, we have lighted our candles.<\/p>\n

And said our prayers.<\/p>\n

Quiet is the river that once roared like a lion.<\/p>\n

Night it is .<\/p>\n
