Chittaranjan Dash, Delhi, 31 August 2025
Like everyone else,
I am also searching for Him-
Like a dog jumping
At his own image in mirror –
Shrieking at shadows
I cast on my way of pursuit –
Trembling at echoes
Of my own voice in the wild-
Everywhere I see trail
But of people moving as me-
With torches in hands
And souls sullied with illusion.
