LANGUISHING LONELINESS ©
Pancholi Nandlal Kanjibhai
Gujarat, India
2007
All my efforts to cry loudest to be heard
have melted into smoke
No one listening
My lips moving seen through as if glass
people watching indifferently
Words in torrents falling on consolidated deafness
Vocal chords swell and pain but all in vain
Gigantic doors of desolation have shut on me with a slam
And mute existence multiplies its shadows
getting darker, murkier, murderous…..
