verse works of Shahwar Kibria

AND YOU ???




Stationed on the couch
Viscous matador
Only mundane stillness
Only silence applauds

The stasis dilates the pupils into animated action
Reflexivity?
Passivity!
Frozen stillness
Frozen in motion

The stillness stares back!
And you think, you can see?

The TV blaring ardent reciprocation
The hour glass choked with wasted sand
That could have built a castle!

What is left, is creeping towards the hangman’s noose

The lizard looks down in domestic disapproval

Walls caving into the guilt

And you think that you are alive…

Ah well, another dart swept unharmed past the Bulls-Eye!
