Pause (a poem)


Pause
Many a cause
Sometimes a short break
Sometimes a breath intake

Pause
Quiet claws
Stop for the station
Transitory punctuation

Pause
Roads at a cross
Short of words to say
Thoughts going astray

Pause
Damp moss
The numb feel
A life going still

Pause
Unsure clause
Too short a rope
Flickering of hope

Pause
Apparent loss
Screams that are still
Grit on downward drill

Pause
Spilled sauce
Palate gone wrong
The end of the song

~ Pravin K Sabnis
