Soldiers in Line

Even darkness has the
eyes. Will you sleep unmasked at
night to meet god on fire?

Marginalized manslaughter.
We should know the pathless truth of
days unknown. Time bites time.

The priest and the fish
were swimming. There was no end
of water coming from the eyes.

Ah! What an expression, Satish jee! There's no end to water in eyes! Every stanza talks about pain.
