BEMOANED AIR
Bemoaned air within the
raven canopy of progress,
where stars suffocate
in smog’s embrace,
withering—losing
their composites,
bereft of bearing.
Lungs gasp in smog’s iron grip,
choked by veils of venomous haze,
while eyes weep rivers of fire,
stung by the city’s ashen blaze.
Cool-breezed dawns,
with golden sunshine’s kiss—
once poetry’s renewal—
now forgotten whispers,
swallowed by smog’s
fevered shroud.
All entities hover on
demolition’s razor edge,
where empires of bone
and starlight shatter
in a single, trembling breath.
Goutam Roy explores philosophical, transcendental and societal themes with his poetry.
