Tender memory
Of yesterday flashing…
Her vision—my mantelpiece
Mother’s love
Little boy golden sunshine
Well grown…I am
Curtains opened
each fold two inches apart
Waiting for the arrival
Cushions neatly plumped
Dust off the mantelpiece
Fluff off the floor
Cucumber Sandwiches on the table
Tea in the Teapot
Knock at the door
On time I see
It's quarter past four
The embedded curse
of a roving planet, brings
out a story of otherness
versus loneliness.
Adultery was on cards.
An issue was rising
between the string
and the bullet.
Let us pretend. There was
a serial killer in every-
home, who will come out
at night to send the message.
The curved dots will join
to give an explicit image.
Do you like it ? Can
you put it on mantelpiece ?
Satish Verma
The hourglass sat on the mantelpiece,
Over a dead fireplace.
Its sand had long settled
In the lower globe of the glass.
The miser and the fire were both dead,
The wake followed suit.
No one was invited, no eatables or drinks.
A dreary affair.
Yet so final,
Like the hourglass.
It's inertia spelled his death.
The unpaid solicitor finished his stock taking
But kept the hourglass for himself.
