History of Pain

by Satish Verma   Sep 2, 2023


Your alignment
with sea was not perfect. You
were wading in sand.

Give me a slip
of eyes. A scion was
ready to catch winds.

Behind the teeth
lies a bloody tongue. Will spell
your ancient name.

    I love the first stanza. "...wading in sand." The image of an oxymoron made clear. I can not make out the story, but it feels like a curse.
