The Poet's Condition

by Mohan Rana

Were this light even whiter
We would become invisible
We would live our invisible pain
Without ever knowing
The absence of joy
We would be amazed at that invisibility
In which shadows vanish
Shapes disappear
Only sounds
Reach the remaining memory
Where there is no need of introduction
The poet's condition
Poetry's fate
Together
Just a breath
