![]() Quaking FloorsA Poem by Swagato Saha![]() As Freud identifies the Unconscious as a site of resistance to rational knowledge, could the same also hold true for the (modern) Subject's (unconscious) belief in God? Can we be truly godless?![]() Why was it so the infant eye, Midst dry summons of nameless sense, On the ashen face did decide? Through guarded doors and curtains tense- Whence all stony figures became! From phantom wheres and times unfound; The dim-lit gazes unsurely framed, Spill onto the silent surrounds... And glared the ghastly crimson trails! Veiled in clouds of incense savour; While manic chants to metals played, Our heads held to the quaking floors... (Why is it now thus reasoned-I, Yet quiver to its banal repeat? Yet trace thy call to ends of time? ...Plagued by silent phantasies.) © 2025 Swagato Saha |
