Walking Toeless
Stone by stone you kill me.
Petal by petal I die –
holding a scalpel
to unwrite my name.
Violence
erupts among words.
A temple breaks.
O goddess ! don’t cry beyond silence.
The infant’s milk
spills in darkness.
Antiquity raises a wall
around the mother.
I am vanishing now,
freezing my assets.
