Unknown realms





























Google Image

a black robe gnawing my back neck
sitting obstinately clutching the neck;
 turned my head and saw my rooms, check,
check it all over again and nothing to pick,
silence, except for the clutch in the neck---
fearful memories wear robes so utterly black

  1. I like how the black robe goes for the back of the neck- typical for fearful back(neck) stabber.

  2. fearful memories wear robes so utterly black....incredible closing line. In Japan the robe would be all pure white - the same thing actually as the black robe. Excellent poem.

  3. Great use of rhyme in this one, Sreeja. Not always easy to share off those black robed memories.
