Echo Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan
Echo
Bearing Hera's curse
She could only
Repeat
The last words
That she'd just heard
As Narcissus' rejection,
Becomes
The final nail
In her coffin,
Embracing
Death
She leaves her
Own voice behind
Echo!
My heart is with you!
Shunned by love
You remain
Immortal
As the hidden mirror of sound
