Republic of Silence

Where only echoes are stored

Please, don't insist on making me say everything
This mountain is eloquent enough
To speak of solitude as
It stands still since

Your short stature itself

intention to create you

Watch the flight of the milk weed fluff,
A very humble effort indeed.
Wingless,

Poem On Gauri Lankesh's Brutal Killing/Republic Of Silence

Republic of Silence

Sitting in a room
Where only echoes are stored
Thinking that without echoes
All the voices on this earth
Might have been dead at birth.

You can wipe out all the voices with ease
But what will you do with echoes?
I know now why the bamboos are in the valleys.

Hills without a voice
Gathering the echoes
For a time drowned in silence.

late comer did not hear the flute playing
She only collected its echoes and left.
The butterfly has gone
The flutter still remains on the petals

Listen to the stars carefully
Their echoes have golden hues.

Even when all the sounds are wiped out,
The earth might live some more time
By spending the echoes frugally.

A truck have been spotted in the city
Carrying echoes
For making them impotent.

It is impossible to predict
What will happen to the voices
Mortally wounded with bullets.
All the dungeons of this world
won't be sufficient
To imprison all their echoes.
