Unjointed Time

Let the untold suffering 
settle the incompleteness of truth.
You have to move out? 
making space.

The empty chair fills in 
at dark. I talk to my father, 
daily about the remains of life 
and falling debris.

A son does not want to 
know the futurity. A dazed poet 
will write the history of ruins 
which was younger than memory.

A resilience still brings me 
face to face with the gods of dead souls.

A very enigmatic poem, Satish; I especially like the opening and closing lines. Good job.
