I Had To Go Back

Bimal Sharma

.....to meet you again.
First I was afraid to look at you.
You appeared like an assassin,
again caged by clouds.
You appeared like a burglar,
again by ground.

People like detectives combing through the scene:

This is the shirt of a little boy whom you killed.
This is the hair of a mother whom you drowned.
This is bed of a sick man whom you hauled.

.....Unable to find words in my grief,
I turned back.You came after me
like a puppy
to lick my feet again
with your blue tongue..
