Below is a brand new poem written by Sreekanth Kopuri – one of the star page features from Issue 1.
His other works being published on our blog to look out for in the next few weeks are:
Rain Again
Distance
A New Normal
Another Egg
of a summer-white smile
of another Easter,
*
a sunny lesson
of a luminescent morning
*
laid against the sands
of some more circles,
*
the grace that loves
every handful of dust, waits
*
under those warm wings
of Love’s patient time
*
that hatches for the
earth’s last pages
*
that flicker in its ears
whispering the secret
*
that will crack open with
a cluck – a sign of last trumpet.
A New Normal
you’ll face consequences you’ve never seen in history
-Vladimir Putin
Since a single death
is a tragedy,
a million battalions
slither for beyond
along a road not taken
abiding by a decree
of a cold blooded hand
that contemplates to send
Big Boys or Fattest men against
the desperate flutter of doves
sedating the peoples’ psyche
for a new normal
that must stoicize the earth
into an existential oneness
towards an apocalyptic preoccupation.
