TODAY -
Black
Soibam Haripriya *
Evening hung
above street lamps
with nocturnal insects
drawn to light
Like fishermen
flinging an empty net
over the vast Loktak
The day ceased
in its abject silence
The earth accumulates
dirt, dust and decay
Nambul turel's open drain
slithers lazily
Sad silver fishes
suffocated by sewage
Floats back to immense emptiness
The night accumulates
Like age on wrinkled skin
Like rust on humid chains
A barb wire of hope
Threatens into skin
of clasp palms
of hurt soles
Trying to break free
