Cold Star Poem by Neran Sati

Come inside you fresh sunny breeze, winter's morning!
Come in, windows opened! Warm up, lit that void!
Fill in this lodging's lung! Till twilight
Stay in here - for whole day
Sunday!

Till evening cold comes close
it winter - to him
to his - left be alone -
off closer ups
even without the peers.

One by one, saw them departing
like orange leaves, till dry
remained he barren
sole bush in the desert
confronting storms
forever -
like weather

That sense only known to him
- the resilient scorched -
just him in between
sand and sky
the lump
rolling o'er up or down
just him - blinking -
at cold desert star
