Spread the love

Reading Time: < 1 minute

A surreal poem, rich in imagery, by Gopal, exclusively for Different Truths. 

A hyphen rests between the cobble and pebble
there is this soft light dips and rises
draw the movement of the sun,
colour has other laws
snatching saturation of hue from the twilight.
 
Sand scatters on the gravel beach
night draws the footprints on the wind ripples
of crushed silt,
there is the heartbeat of the moonless sky
breaks into a lullaby.
 
The dark print of the many lives
outside the walls, on the street
dimness, stillness: that is the sense.
glass windows have rusted hinges
invisible stars suffer and lose their voices.
 
Memories recollect in large frames
learn to leave others,
the images fill up the invisible doors
nothing enters, nothing escapes 
from the old-world canvass.
