Bats Upside Down Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

Bats Upside Down



Bundles of amorphous darkness
Zigzag menacingly
Through the crimson sky
Before clutching at branches
With certainty of the night;
Little omens clinging precariously
To the tolerance of an ancient tree
Mock the ill disguised infertility of the rituals
On the ceiling...

And wait…

Day of colour, Bokultol, Guwahati
