Kashmir/A Love Poem By Sabushanmughom

VISIT-I On taking leave Nafisa gave A Chinar leaf. Chart of tears Glowed in it. Mist nestled trees. Stars melted In Jhelum. Bluish hearts Flew over as moths. VISIT-II Curfew torn streets Speeding army trucks. Election posters Plastered wounds. Gunned down twilight Fluttered in the Dal lake. Alone,at night To Chasmeshahli. Haunted in memories In Gulmarg. At Khulanmarg As destitute. Infront Hurriedly A Chinar leaf falls Glued In human flesh and blood. Frightened Jhelum Flows feverish. *Jhelum, a river.
