Where To G0 Poem by desamangalam ramakrishnan

Atlast have I seen my star-
a shrinking and trembling star-
at the edge of the sky.
Is it chanting an ode
to divine mercy.

At last have I reached my night
in the street
having faded the path
having faded the sight
having evacuated
and having sobbed out.

Was this star waiting for me
to shed its rays
just for a moment.
Was this star waiting
to show me
a tiny flower in the corner
and to show me
a blushing memory
of a forsaken heart.

Was this star waiting for me
to say by unsaying
about those uprooted in the storm
and about those hearts
being broken
by endless waiting.

And at last
though reached the ferry
yet where to go:
only a tremendous buzz is heard
behind me.
