Featured Poem: Movements by Ananya S. Guha
Movements

It is a pause
as winter mists
unfurl on hills
little alleys and greens.
Trees wither into mellowed
blues, and escapades are nostalgia.
Past glows into feather beds (of sorrow).
Miniscule moments, hiatus.
I breathe freely, poetry happens
and the day swerves into future.
Sunshine is autonomy, cloudy seas
another episode. Movements capture
into happenings, the soiled wet earth
asks for a clammy pause.
Fruit sellers jingle coins, so do shop keepers.
The sun is now busily eating out of remnants.
Work should end soon, and a poem.
