Poem:
in the neighbourhood
of your breath
i have traveled close and far
our lips have moved
dunes, shifting
a bird across the sun
became my hand fluttering
painting a thin shadow over
your lips
under that shadow
your words were horses
naked, riding your breath
till their legs became a blur
we exhaled a spider
its web froze into
a star
in the neighbourhood of
your breath i have traveled
close and far. - Poet's Bio: Devashish Makhija has written the award-winning novel Oonga; the collection of short-stories Forgetting; two poetry collections Occupying Silence and Bewilderness; several award-winning picture books for children; the international, National and Filmfare award-winning films Joram, Bhonsle, Ajji, and several widely-acclaimed short films.
