Ananya S. Guha- A Poem


Absence

Mother, pool of life
awaken in ripples
arcane past
hollow beds of rice
abyss- ages
you left, standing on a precipice
gods and goddesses standing 
in those crevices
of a room;
waft of incense, flowers scattered
I prayed and ate left over offerings
procrastinations
salutations
I sang your chants
you listened to my rants,
of a godless universe.

Believe me, I pray 
even today.
Pray to get you back
and see your thin shadow
in God's presence.
Your absence.

My presence.

Ananya S Guha
Shillong, INDIA.
