English Poetry

 

Not well enough

to perform routine functions;

Power supply goes off

for long rotten hours

to aggravate; idling

under choking house arrest.

 

Unbearable sweltering heat

inside and outside;

Reading about Svetlana’s

agony in her love

for Lev during the second world war

and the post world war period

when he was in prison

accusing for treason,

made all the more traumatizing

today, without electricity

for the whole day, till sunset.

  3. Hi
    Sometimes a power-cut is needed to understand the essence of light . Like Svetlana’s love for Lev it has many wraps … A good one .

    Wonder how our ancestors managed without electricity.
    Now we cannot bear the heat or darkness even for a few minutes and depend on generators or invertors when electricity fails.
