When I Reach

Asok Mahajan

When I reach the end of desire
Frozen snows at the poles of silence
My breath’s revival past sun’s fire

Now suspended I lie in space
Between these stars and the earth’s night
Plotting serenely my meteor’s trace
Among tiers of darkness in the vacant height
Waiting for the world to be set ablaze
For a moment at least in its sinking flight.
–ASOK MAHAJAN
