On The Anvil Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

On The Anvil



What stands there on the anvil,
A carved door of flowers and geometry.
Axed into pieces of wood for hearth.
A butterfly's many colors of charm,
Does she catch it from petals?
Or has it manifested inside out.
"I have been knocking the door;
Not knowing that I am already inside"
