Waiting Death Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Waiting Death



pages of the holy book are turned
letters are seen with
the help of a power glass

the night bulbs are eyes
yellowish and dim and smell of
dead moths rushing to its heat

he leans twice
once from the waist
making impossible possible

from outside comes
the burning smell of a dead body
through the windows

At night bulbs glow and these shower light on us. During aging a man feels trouble in watching. When he tries to read he feels difficulties. Either he uses glass or uses power glass and reads the content. Lenses make impossible to possible. Old age life is like that. At every step care is needed. A mind-blowing poem is nicely written!
