A Walk In The Smog Poem by Nosheen Irfan

A Walk In The Smog

Rating: 5.0


I don't know where it goes
The road we are walking on
Tentative footsteps lurk
Around edges of a garden
Where silence has stretched
Like an elastic waistband
Across the blades of grass
Every step I take towards you
Carries me far from myself
But does that stop me in my tracks
Do I rearchitect my route?
Smog is not just hovering above
It is inside me as well
Carving paths in the jungle.

Smog is inside me as well... the quest to scan the own soul adds dignity to the corpus of the poem. I appreciate the meticulous review of esteemed poet David. A wonderful poem. To my favourites.
