Oscillation

Seven minutes of terror, 
and fourth generation of missiles. 
Can they go together ? 
And road stops here ?

An honour killing will 
ensue ? Do you think so ? 
Ethnic hate runs deep in 
seeking revenge by remote sensing.

I miss my ego. The poet’s 
pride; oscillating between 
water and beach. There was no
boat in sight.

Sitting on a rock. I visualize 
the firebrand west. Moon was rising. 
There was no rhyming in verse or 
cascading fall. Any one can climb-

the tree and start throwing down
the ripe mangoes. Was it a harvesting 
time of severing the cords.
