Satish Verma, 9 june 2019
After the blast, the 
morning gets wise, and 
does not spill the sun. 
 
And the dead will not 
come back to celebrate 
the dark after the rage. 
 
There, on the white peaks, 
the splattered blood will 
draw the face of assassin. 
 
Do not enter the dome of 
seething screams. The priest 
hangs by the bell. 
 
O, my brother, why we 
have become coldblooded after 
thousand years of pilgrimage?
Satish Verma, 8 june 2019
In black midnight, 
the white moon, like a nun 
sits stonely. 
 
The sliding moon is toxic 
and you are not ready to 
die for the theme. 
 
The high priests will 
weave the faux mantras to 
invoke the goddess of wealth. 
 
The debt pervades in every 
relief. I survive the ignominy 
of not touching a yogi. 
 
And you, little brown bread, 
will not feed the thousands 
who come clamouring for a bite.
Satish Verma, 7 june 2019
It tumbles down. The real. 
Heels start hurting. 
 
Once upon a night, there 
was a red moon, which used to hang 
on your head and I 
would watch something beyond. 
 
No outburst of profanity 
will take place, when you were 
dissecting a triangle― 
 
of rainbows. I will not 
assemble the waist of a tall tree 
after the fruit fall. 
 
Gone with the snow, my 
temple, my god. I am now 
waiting for the looters of rings.
 
Satish Verma, 6 june 2019
There was a road to landslips. 
Why would the mountain break 
for consanguinity? 
 
You had spurned the hovering 
clouds altering the means 
of communication― 
 
by adopting the lightning 
for jousting with new gods. 
As the thin cobweb flies before the eyes― 
 
I go for insomnia to talk 
with invisible in dark. In 
moment’s lapse I become grey. 
 
A life’s learning makes a 
fool of me, hurting myself 
in moonlight. The 
 
abandonment brings fear 
of me. I am ready to go 
to a sheepeater carnivore and lie still.
Satish Verma, 5 june 2019
How much you were honest 
with you? 
The poems had singed 
the eyebrows. I am filled 
with salt. 
 
Would you know what was 
missing between the lines? 
Afterlife will not bother me. 
My image and me 
will not superimpose. 
 
An apology for extradition 
of my agony. Trapped, my 
mirror has broken. I 
will tear off the moon 
from the window, when the room 
is dark.
 
Satish Verma, 4 june 2019
How much you can carry, 
carving a deep gorge 
during last rites 
of a river? 
 
It was a skunky remain 
of the civilized terrain 
gone berserk. 
 
Oh pilgrim, don’t come 
again to wash your feet 
in the snow of 
painted storks. 
 
Hiding behind the tattoos 
my raw galaxy perspires 
climbing the graveyard 
of old songs.
Satish Verma, 3 june 2019
This is for the 
smaller gods sitting 
in rains, seeking asylum in 
snow. 
 
Nobody knows the 
fate of sunken erotica 
when the glacier 
melts. 
 
A wild rose 
sends the thorns to 
prick your conscience. 
Let the death walk 
in sleep.
Satish Verma, 2 june 2019
A visible evil stands 
upright. I did not want to 
die before the death. 
 
My needs were small and few 
but I am at peace, breaking 
water without shaming the earth. 
 
I will now make a moon 
out of the mystery of mass cremation 
of rose buds. 
 
The small recess of the soul 
mends the wall of the flesh to become 
a stable house. 
 
The black crypt, maintains 
a secret. Here lived a wounded 
soldier once upon a time.
Satish Verma, 1 june 2019
Stargazing will not stop. 
The will to find the answer, 
when the glacier breaks. 
 
You bring the god down 
to earth. Don’t want to 
bother any door. 
 
A pair of fetters fastened 
around my ankles. 
I hop to the house of sadness. 
 
The auroral spark 
ignites the leaker. Clouds 
burst crimson with tears. 
 
A ring of red stones were 
markers. Here fell the divine 
spirits, climbing on water.
Satish Verma, 31 may 2019
A boulder on my neck. 
I am climbing your 
house, O god. 
 
I don’t believe you. 
I trust the man, 
a committed trespasser. 
 
A crestfallen humanity 
walking endlessly in― 
the valley of tears, 
 
to find the clean water, 
the bread and roof. The 
anguish breaks the morals. 
 
And our painted deities, 
resting on their thrones to 
see the vultures descending.
