Ash Anyone, Ash? Poem by Jahir Hasan

Ash Anyone, Ash?

Rating: 5.0


that-house, I take a picture
then I enter it.
its resident beast emerges.
I set ablaze the house.
in that burning pyre
i drop the picture of the house
in this way ash
is born of thin air

all ash
therefore
is picture

the ash carrier's heart is heavy
ash anybody, ash?

In this poem surrealism technique is used very well. my best wishes according to me the meaning is of this poem is anyone destroyed into ash. but soon after a rebirth is happened. this poem reveals the few generation cycle of a house.
