Parallel Poem by Jay Kasturi

Parallel



Think of these things,
as you walk into the sun
into your own day:
a heart shattered like glass,
words lost in breathlessness,
unkissed mouth opened dry,
day lumbering into night,
eyes used to emptiness,
a womb as desolate as a ruin.
What you strain to imagine,
she must breathe each day,
what might have been,
what never becomes,
as you walk into the sun.

(1995)
