Ancient Lights

written by: Gopal Lahiri

@gopallahiri

blood moon giving
a morsel of words

earth probing the
invisible border line

smell of wet grass
warmth and warmth

painting the new twilight
on the graph broadside

holding the winter evenings
on swollen palms

cold winds snigger
against the old mirror

old city searching
ancient lights

P.C. Darkcliff

When he was in kindergarten, P.C. managed to convince his classmates that his grandma was a tribal shamaness. Then he learned his letters, and kidding his friends no longer seemed adequate—so he started to write. P.C. has published two standalone novels, Deception of the Damned and The Priest of Orpagus, and his stories have been featured in various publications. His latest novel, Celts and the Mad Goddess, is the first installment of The Deathless Chronicle. He has lived in six countries and on three continents. While it burned a hole in his bank account, the seminomadic lifestyle has inspired most of his stories and novels. P.C. has settled with his wife in southern Spain, where he goes swimming and cycling whenever he isn’t too busy writing stories and teaching English.
