Anamnesis

By Jahnavi Gogoi

ANAMNESIS

Elysium is a town on the edge of remembrance. 
A dawnfly quivers on a Mandarin tree.
In the untamed sky, the ospreys dance.
Elysium is a town on the edge of remembrance, 
each crevasse in the Mekai a lesson in forbearance 
the cryptic Dihing flows free --
Elysium is a town on the edge of remembrance, 
A dawnfly quivers on a Mandarin tree.



Glossary:
Mekai: A tree found in Dehing Patkai
Dihing: A tributary of the Brahmaputra
