Our stories





Our stories 


Moon      a backdrop 

          the silhouetted tree doesn’t tell much 

much of it went with the last storm 

                               slate and black contours 

                              of even similar landscape seems alien 

 

our stories differ with how the moon stands 

how much of the tree could stand the storm 

how the contours come alive when the night sky 

sparks the storyteller inside our hollow ribcages  

                       

        no     but the cities have different stories  

they are alive in a different way 

they differ with how we perceived our stories 

how we told our stories every time we told them 

why we told them to those whom we told them 

everything matters in a world of uncertainties 

 

                      the moon matters 

                     even as a backdrop

  1. I was fascinated by the zig zag presentation .... and yes, I agree everything matters.

  2. Oh I love this and it perfectly aligns with a poem I posted earlier today on telling our stories!

  3. You got me thinking that the moon is like a blank page that we project our stories on to.
