A Deafening Epilogue
written by: Sarmistha Gupta
Starry epitaph
lacing my dreamlike photograph
My plastic body
sequinned cosmic
Drooping lashes sow fantasies
shadowy vermilion; satin locks
Blinded I travel
mesmerising lights uncut
walking in surreal rains
Dumb tunnels inconsolable
waving my skeletal fabric
She lived to let it be
She breathed to heave peace
She cried to smother love
Stairs to my afterlife
I cling to ivory bannisters-
I was born as Sarmistha and grew up as a dreamer selling my dreams. I have connected with poetry in various genres since my growing up years. I have done my studies delving in the depth of English Literature and pursued my passion for writing ever since. Presently I am professionally engaged in the social sector and work among socially distressed women in India, West Bengal.
