Best Poems Written by Arjuna Krishna

Metamorphosis

See snow settle on windows. 
Chimneys gently, carefully, puff out smoke and I 
see irradiated lamp posts linking 
cable-lines across the street. 
Near a frozen wall of bricks and wires, 
I fly over water pipes. 

Ich fliege über Wasser, der Himmel zu, 
wo ist Frieden, weißt es du?

Gutters pump out sleet 
and newspapers wrapped in shiny plastic. 
I watch grey watery clouds swell 
and thicken in the sky. 

The cold air wraps my wings 
and butterflies meander with the wind 
to hilltops we fly in. 

Soon – 
my wings will hold 
a flower.
