Farewell Stroke Poem by Prayag Saikia

Farewell Stroke



By birth
I'm destined to take my ultimate rest
in a bed of pyre.

From the cortege
my painter-child will emerge
for his farewell stroke.

A sacred fire will chant
silent prayers for salvation.

Am I a born sinner,
or a trapped time,
in the net of ‘Maya'?

I explore every corner;
words pervade the air,
and unknowingly
I utter..... OM.
