One Simple Day

For honour killing
twilight adulates an abstract faith.
Tainted ?

Now that mouth was shut
and butterfly was pinned,
will you grow the marigolds ?

The empty book was not breathing
in a crowd of words.
The bitter meaning had flown away.

The mountain will cry now
in the absence of birds.
Trees were shedding their leaves.
