Immortal air


Immortal air
Dead in the flute
Lying on the ground

Once, many tunes were born
Wrote stories of angels,
From the gaps of gasping breaths
Painted pictures, in the whistling air
Entertained rivers floating through the nerves
Its intercourse with fingers melted snows and stones.

Now, those feelers no longer
Give a hand to the dancing air; they have left
Leaving the flute as a mere instrument
They are now occupied, engaged
To craft and build structures of a different bent
Mud has choked the flute.

No room, no space inside; to flirt, caress
Even from close
It looks like a stick, made of stone
Ready for a new role
Outcast air urges the leaves to fall
And cover its mate.

Lying on the ground
Dead in the flute
Immortal air
