verse works of Shahwar Kibria

Non























~
And since when language was first spoken
magic died

the stars wept
because they could not write a song
this sad and this empty

all words--a waste
all words--a neglect


as futile--
as telling a star how beautiful it is
The star? Well, it can only shine back
it is safe
it knows no verbosity

since language was first spoken
all things felt--un-felt
all things understood--lost
all things beautiful--died

all words--a waste
all words--a neglect
all words--an excuse

a bridge to nothingness
