The Midnight Understanding Poem by Satish Verma

The Midnight Understanding



In the absence of an azure
pain, the divine hemlock becomes
edible. Yen by yen I was nearing you.

The breeze in your locks
smiles. I am hungry for diagnosis.
The moon sends a purified hug.

I have crossed yourself.
to find the sparks in dark caves
of the silence. Who will go first?

"Who will go first? " Is the most pertinent question. When we say, " In the absence of an azure / pain, the divine hemlock becomes /edible" we face the most immediacy of naked truth.
