Reading the Night

Poetry

A poem by Prem Geet

 

my dream world

 

The stars are braille.

Just breath and awe,

We stand

Darkness above us.

 

Every page of sky is the same

But our listening is new.

We toy with necklaces

Of questions worn

Across eons while turning

A page of the night.

 

With arms

That long to be wings

And hearts swaddled

In compromise,

We argue with heaven

But cannot escape

What we are,

Just beginners forever

Reading the night.
