Slim Into Shadow Poem by Nilima Deb

1.

Smoke and none

sunset sets into the mud
I closed the sky
Still the birds are burning

There is no more speed to circle the image
Within or without

Sometimes open the door means "never open"

2.

From the bath
To
Room

You can stop for a while

Before you reach nowhere
Water takes you into their folds

Rain has no boat, only effort

3.
Don't curse the moon
budding water
a to z

stop me
stop me not

a mild cat is sewing the road
yet to be start
now
a needless door nakedly desired…
