subodh pandey - Dementia

A man stands at window, watches a tree
thrusting its outline in the sunbeams
The sunrays roll down the leaves,
in all splendour.
He strives long to turn out
a leaf out of the gone by
agonisingly close the image of his
memories shatters again and again
within him
He stills his hands on a parapet,
lighted by daylight.
