Descending

i make ready myself for an insult and chest pain, keeping unshorn hair like nettles on contours, to take unknown turns for restoring the clouds on moon-blue hills, spreading the water colors on trees; someone inside the shrine was making turbulence: yellow room has the footprints of a naked fakir, after the apocalypse, who walked eyes closed on the burning ghats, his rags are now worshipped, the later years found the darkness glowing in the furnace of propped up body by roses,roses all the way, he tells the hanging man, how tall were the poles, with song SATISH VERMA

Hi Satish....your fine poem can translate to many cultures with truth....I can see this to represent the plight of the Northern Plains "Sioux Nation" Native Americans who were rounded-up after the (so-called by the pale-faces) 'Sioux Uprising' and hung in Mankato towards the end of the 19th. Century....Jim
