was just a blink

What title I should give

Staring at your photo, you still look kind
just those burning arrows with your name on them
don't make sense
was just a blink
or i was sleeping for a long time?
"what now?" the neon sign
blinks and asks
and with blinking eyes
I try to see if there are any other words
between the "what" and "now"

ReplyDelete@Ramesh. wish i can find that magic
@sheilagh , wonder indeed :)
@ollegg, "what I do know " smiling and taking notes ( thanks for the suggestion , already corrected ;))
That's a question indeed. Is it 'we' or 'I' from the moment of 'What now'
ReplyDeleteNice one.
