History Poem by Sachin Ketkar

History

Rating: 2.7


Today in these shattered ruins
We'll hear the pale dithyrambs
Of the vanished bards
Reverberate for the vampire bats
Emaciated by history

Today in these scattered edicts
We'll gaze at the silence
Of the bleeding scripts which conceal
Terrified eyes
Mouths left agape

Today in these pillars of victory
We'll touch the rock silence
Of the devastated women
Watching with ruined eyes the space
Evacuated by history

Today in these empty spaces and ellipses
We'll inject our own absences
And silences to resurrect
The tragic chorus
Of history
