Here and Now
By Marisha Singh
The handmade violin
The devil’s deed
The colonial fireplace
The wooden chesspiece
A learned shelf
To silence the beast
The moonlit shore
Beyond Ignorance’s creed
Some fruits untouched
By the pollution of the store
The unsent letter
Carrying the red folklore
To an estranged lover
Who lives offshore
Made of burnt parchment
By the candle’s glow
The fresh alive water
The soothing breeze
The revelry of silence
The midnight peace
The book of poems
That no one shall read
That my friend
Is all I shall need!
