Sneak previews to CANVASSING ART contd.: Tarry, Tarry Nights

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

Tarry, Tarry Nights

The highway’s on a parchment

On a perch meant

for the negotiator

of paths

A road, a route, sparking sights

-Some of the darkest nights.

 

Cavernous chambers of the mind

-the inner eye

Project visions:

Light thrown

on ways

that catch the racing rays

 

Promises and visions

Saturate

Cascade, unroll….

-Signals to our times

 

Hurtling to the swirling nimbus,

those standing trees….

Destination: Speech.

 

Our minds are known

-the gauntlet’s thrown

The electors, the elected

All sing one tune

 

-No barriers to breach.

 

By V. Shruti Devi
