You said this summer,
hold me tight,
when hanging lights-
go out.
I will heal your moon,
your cryptobiosis
of seeds-
at dawn, when you wake up
before the stars leave.
It would not be a day of mourning.
The quinces, japonica
irises were deeply disturbed.
Under the tongue
lies the religion of masses.
The menus are same, only
the taste was different.
Satish Verma, 21 october 2020
A streak of sin,
just as culpable,
gives back my pains.
A half-finished poem
jolts me out of my vision.
Someone drops the moon-
and becomes evident in mist.
A profile floats. I
imagine the spreading smile.
I want to understand myself.
The colors blend. Have
you read Rilke? You will not
rise from the surface of-
life and death.
Authenticity has become
rarer. Copyright to kill is
religion. An aquiline nose
smells the prey.

Transcribing my emptiness,
like emulating an ape-
to study the anatomy-
of a scar.
There was a brutal assult.
Uninterpretable was the ink,
like the blood spilled
after the vein collapsed.
An egg within an egg
would change the gender
of a name. A different money
was needed to appease the god.
The skin-sperms, and the
cut flowers. Times have changed.
I cannot fly like you.
I would write an ode to the nightimglae.

The family pride
goes for the jugular. The rotational
push, dooms the vessel. I
come out in black waters. Night
is pitch-dark.
Riding the tiger, now you
want to come down. There was
no anonymous call to
remember the wits. A buried
myth is ready to romance.
My country bleeds in war
of titans. The secret of the road
was out. It does not go anywhere.
The bottomless pit is moving up
its depth. Nobody will drown in democracy.

Odkleić rozwalić odczepić
przepołowić świat
symbol jedności
wspólnych lat
Rozłączyć rozdzielić
złą miłość zabić wyplenić
zło ukradło schowało zamieniło
w nienawiść wielką miłość
kurwiarz i nieudacznik
dziwka i niedojda
kiedyś bez siebie żyć nie umieli
już teraz raczej nie mogą na siebie patrzeć
Pamiętam wszystko
każdą chwilę
najbardziej te niemiłe
niech lepiej każdy
pójdzie swoją drogą
osobno
Toksyka oderwać od siebie jak rzepa
baba z wozu koniom lżej tak trzeba
i tylko ten papierek kartkę
z radością ściska niejeden
życiu wolność wydarta
bez ciebie jestem coś warta
Satish Verma, 18 october 2020
Celebrating the summer.
Planting a wet kiss on-
the hiding moon.
Dousing the flames,
you come in crosshairs
of a mob.
You will light
your own candle now, in-
pitch-dark inside.
Impoverished. Always
poor to buy your happiness.
Like Paleolithic stab, you stay
unmoved, exposed to shadows and sun.
The water affair was kept
alive with bloody curves. No
one believes in old bones.
I will not ask you.
I will not need.
Satish Verma, 17 october 2020
Where was the empirical
evidence, that you don't exist?
The vibes were becoming
stronger.
The comb has fallen, and
honeybee feels lése-majeste'.
Where the dots end, a
new line starts.
Adrift. The resistance is gone.
Reflecting on the added
infidelity. You cannot pay homage
to ungraceful exit.
Will you be able to draw
the wages of your life? For the
bread and liberation?
Who was responsible for your falls?
Satish Verma, 16 october 2020
This country divides us.
Only cameos were
displayed.
The ache of the holy river
was your body which
becomes a canoe.
The snow-clad peaks
would smash
the hikers.
Opinions differ,
when the tornado strikes.
You wanted to build a new house.
The black night.
A green silence would
rebel against the stars.
Satish Verma, 15 october 2020
You have to spell it out.
Where the sun sets
in shifting sands?
Picking up the heart rocks-
I was learning to
walk away from undying.
Who would confuse the
infinite falls. There was no conclusion.
Again you come howling,
waiting for the snowmelt from
the face.
The lips become the stones.
You will not count the peaks.
Overnight, it has
turned grey, my red moon.
I will take hold of the night.
There was no referral
of lying truth.
Satish Verma, 14 october 2020
Without trying to become
an avenger,
you were trying to find the-
joy of primitive faith.
The dignity of terror has
to be modified.
You were now afraid of-
yourself in the crowd.
This thing had a dark tone, when
you cross the street.
Underneath, the seed vessels of
past pain, were ready to split open.
The bandits wait on the line
of control. The shock
comes out in open. Society is
generous, accepts your blood.
