The Sunday Muse #211
From one end of the earth
To another, echoes the images
Of chained voices. Shadows
Separated by hemispheres
Hide behind laced windows.
Life snails on rigid parallels;
The voices silenced, gagged,
By the harsh tones of patriarchy
The reflections stare at the horizon
Their entwined fate
Moves on the elliptical motions
As their shared destinies
Wear shrouds of truth and lies.

"Life snails on rigid parallels" that is a gorgeous line among many here Sunita and the closing line is amazing. The deeper message here is poignant. Beautiful writing my friend!
ReplyDeleteShared destinies of truth and lies - true words during a resurgence of patriarchy after a too-brief respite. Sigh.
ReplyDelete“Life snails on rigid parallels” ... I love that.
ReplyDeleteI feel each of us wears the shroud of truth / of lies ... depending on 'where we are in this journey.' A beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!

ReplyDeleteYour expression of oppression is done beautifully Sunita.
