The Unrest of Desire
- Keki N. Daruwalla
The Unrest of desire is lit up with eyes,
Whatever the mask the slap upon your face,
However, you tear at the soft thoat of life
And probe the salt blood with your instinct tongue
The unrest of desire is revealed by eyes.
However, you bury the shadow in the heart,
Under slabs of concrete and coil of bone.
However, you wall the cave-impulse at the mouth,
It will hammer at the sides and break free-
However, you bury the shadow in the heart,
You may etch the shadow on the cavern wall
And turn the drives into aborigine art,
Bison and stag loping in charcoal lines,
You can't erase the burn, It will char your dreams
However, you bury the shadow in the heart.
