The Denouement

I sensed myself sinking down Culminating the stuccoes of existence Crossing denouements of mortality Obeying the laws of life's caducity And defying the clusters of earthly brevity. My nostrils perceived the essence Beyond the sod My ears apprehended the sounds Of heavy metal spades And my eyes saw the quietus When the granules of clods broke And made space for me To lie amongst them While my body felt the ache When I was being gently graved. I roused to realize That my sweven Toured me down To the afterlife lane To forgraith me For the next realm of existence. ~Nayanika Dey From: India Copyright ©: ©7 March, 2016
