The Smiles Are Disappearing

The Smiles Are Disappearing

A Poem by Satish Verma
"

The Smiles Are Disappearing

"
On your crumpled body
I write my name.

The Kosher trembles. I
place Gita to be unread by
unpraised eyes.

Do not abuse the
crate. It may contain
a pit viper.

I am not clean. You
can wipe out the face from
my sleeve and make a new shirt.

And the messenger will
deliver the gift of a
naked moon signed by black hole.

Attended by kisses
the roses were spread on
ground to receive the severed legs.

Stand in attention.
The beaten god has arrived.

Parts of this sounds like a soldier being laid to rest. Someone who is not known to others mourns alone.

Just my thoughts on this piece

Hello, Satish! :)
I had trouble catching the meaning for much of this, but it reads like a storm is coming. Thanks for sharing.
