Basudhara RoySince visibility is relative
this poem will be dimly lit
in the dark the scanter light
travelling farther in the heart
the brighter always garish and vain
There will be here light rain
a brush of fingertips on skin
in hair the water’s tiny suckling teeth
giving more than they receive
nostrils aflare with earth
I will keep the door open
so you feel waited upon and welcome
This poem will tell you we can make do
with less and peel our needs
to the indispensability of breath
In its writ of waiting this poem
will insist that it is time that ripens
not the fruit just as it is the mind
not eye that meets the truth
nestled in the groove of things
This poem will affirm that despite all
it is possible to carry on and believe
the path to not be tough, our shoes not torn
heart not dislodged from its place
not a thousand rents in our garment of faith
