At night
at night you're not here
at night
at night you're not here
any more than day
at night
you're not here
no more
do I dream
no more
do I wake
any more
at night
Official Website and Blog for Shaleen Rakesh, an indie author based in Dehradun, India. Shaleen is a writer and recursive observer of the shifting Himalayan landscape, whose work interrogates the friction between geologic time and the fragile architecture of human memory. Deeply rooted in the ecological and psychological terrain of the Doon Valley, his prose functions as a diagnostic for the Anthropocene—charting the rain of ash that defines modern loss.
I like the raw feeling communicated in the poem – the sense of loneliness personified by the night. Excellent poem.
