![]() The Invisible HandA Poem by Swagato Saha![]() What is the 'Invisible Hand of the Free Subject' like to the world of objects - variously transforming and displacing things in its Promethean wake? "Words are a stain on silence." - Samuel Beckett![]() A restless will sets the pens a-stir, From an idle corner, a chair surmised, By the patient desk where pages learn, New sermons of the floating hand. And a flash of light in formless dark! A breathless slurp, a shuffle of cards? So words as burning stains did part, The silence of waking leaves. And ink tears through the startled white! A nervous pause... a reckless swipe, As queues of object gazes hide, From fortunes unforeseen. The cancelled screens, a gasper's prayer, A trail of smoke, a creak of chair; By the steady, uncertain air, Turn to but morning's waste- © 2025 Swagato Saha |
