He was still
in spur of moment
suddenly nothing moved
neither dusk nor dawn
hands motionless
legs likewise
they checked
and rechecked
nothing moved
Is this now a carcass?
Nobody saw
the vital
moved out
did it ever
after all
then a wail arose
from the dear one
used to see movements
Oh! Dear our dear one is gone
the wail wrecked in pain
the myth was on
of death
and life gone
trust me
this is how it has been
and we continue
to die and be born!
