Nothing Left To Hide

Your skin was involved-
in recent string of shadows, throwing
the white shrouds on unknown
faces. The visibility
becomes a threat, plying like a black river
via stone links.

Your muscles twitch and
convulse. An invisible hand
writes the judgement. A silent 
November looms large.
I will wait for the snow to
fall silently on the sun-dial.

Like silent shedding of petals 
counting the dew drops on grass.
A tree of bones walks
from death to death. Me standing
on crossroads, on the moon’s path
trying to learn the mistakes.
