Tuesday poem #239 : Biswamit Dwibedy : After Noon




light of recognition
reflected aimlessly                  
his body along
will hover.

As now you will
say: Can I?
Repeating
Let Me. Be Mine.
And the Many
in the forest turn concrete. Your breath
a staggering plateau. The delicate marriage
of bones.

An oar unraveled
Whatever rippled
roughly shaped like
another orbit

similarities we must reclaim.

An I on the other side
the other hand, awakens               
architecture. like mica
inside the eyes.     

 Wheat, dirt
elongated seasons.

That move, so assured.
