For the Clotting

seething yet silent in land of outrage: strictures of life, my eyes will not see the setting sun; this was the blind spot before the battle starts and spine turns into ramrod in hot sun – to speak the version of domestic grief without lips because the death does not come alone, she has a company of corpses swelling the earth but she also plays piano with two fingers only pouring out milk and venom for a long journey, we start unprepared I will not fall asleep SATISH VERMA

Very provocative and powerful poem, Satish! No matter how we try to prepare for the "long journey," we neve know what awaits. Wonderful poetry! Love, Carolyn
