An Evening Ritual (A Shardorma)

/ Sumana Roy

mm

 

a single

star in darkling sky

through the pane

peeps inside

to see how I wave a lamp

before the deities

  2. NIce. I read pane as pain, with a double meaning.
    In pain, we can retreat inside ourselves, which can be a dark place. I imagine the writer inside and in desperate prayer when the light of a single star pierces the darkness.
