elegies

dug the earth  joined, a salient commotion attained respite through the maze hunted by naked devotion wreathing summer trellis unravelled antiques stack of velvet twine crawling my body closed eyelids  mounted, silver and gold my ears like buzzing bees  until,  i heard a creak beneath                                   - shreya

' tis but a brook in your heart fastness in our bosom yet, i ambutate my eyes to see and see, drunken season i wreath bizarre storms mundane the czar- i say his throbbing heart,  bleeding a calamitous fate her troth was mere an enigmatic prospect i wade in grief glistening blue beneath dawn's golden bruise  glimmer in her eyes a wife- she, a widow long before her vows were taken  a brisk encounter with  a fellow sufferer  buoyant her soul 'tis a lover's trumpet they say heard in the valleys,  through the gale yet, he was playing deaf                                          - shreya
