A HOUSE

A house, in front of which gleams,
A sea of water green.
The froth of glint.
A flash in squint.
Dancing on its waves--
A merriment of ephemeral stint.
A house across which drool,
Breezes that blow cool.
Shadows those fall dark--
In the rays of ripening sun--
Burning on the frosty ripples naked stark.
A hearth mounded in the brim--
Ornate in silverine stellar all round the rim.
Fairies in smoke wreath out magic spark--
As warmth strikes frost in the colossal dark.
A playground of graphene slates--
Lying flat--
Underneath the heavens, on the shore--
Waiting for evermore.
In the sun, in the rain, in the ardor.
Thawed and gnawed--
In a temporal awe.
Cut in the gullet in an eternal wow!
Seen or unseen--
Crafted in swearing eyes or in a dream.
A house, in front of which gleams,
A sea of water green.
~Anjum Kabir
