Narcissus Poem by Arunlal Mokeri

Narcissus

Rating: 4.0


The mirror opened:
a small creek.
It let in a sparrow,
which hung on the frame
and looked at me -
those beady eyes!


A cool wind eases out of the glass-doors.

I rest my head on the mirror-pane.

The shades grew long in the yard outside,
and the fat leaves of those unknown trees broke sweat.

I could be buried here.

Taking a cue from the legend, you have unfolded a new philosophy. The opening lines are immaculate. Thanks for sharing the poem on PH.
