After The Carnage Poem by Satish Verma

After The Carnage

Rating: 5.0


Prepare the beds
for the nocturnal read of book.
The wodden angels-
have arrived, carrying
the golden caskets.

O zero town,
your children are coming home.
There will be no interrogation
in this fusion of grief
and anger!

I refuse to take
a hoax call of death. The
moon becons for an eternal bliss.
Let the red eyes─
speak not of any pain.

The agony of crying sky
will not be said by any mourning
mother, when you throw the dust
unto dust. A new journey
had just begun.

Wow. Such a beautifully written poem. At once so heartbreakingly sad but then you've given that faint glimmer of hope at the closing. Beautifully done!
