The Lightness Of The Dark Poem by Sudeesh Kalashakkaran

To embrace the sublime nothingness of the whole
in death is so simple, so light
that body becomes lighter, lighter than the breeze
that carries the message of the raindrops and spring

To embrace the wholeness of the whole/part of the whole
in life is so herculious, so hard
that body becomes harder, harder than the mountains
that block the visions and winds of heaven

Yes, living for a full moon/ a broken crescent
is so torch/torcherous, so great/grotesque
I would rather die for the divine lightness of the dark
