A poignant and surreal poem, by Gopal, exclusively for Different Truths.
Beams of sunlight shine down and rove over the winged visitors, dreamy landscapes are intensely focussed Tungsten-hard voice of the stormy wind sweeping inquiry into the mysteries and mysticism. Chinese art history resonates in six dynasties Confucian tropes in marble panels from a sarcophagus, images melt into one another, Taoist sages’ seat in groves, somewhat in a daze, robe and sashes swaying gently, cups of wine and music, a trailing tune scarred by segregation A carver of words simmers in the granite.
