Clarity

Posted on by Reena Saxena

roofs prevent flight
sky looks askance
crumbling claims of
independent thought

(I can’t recall who
but someone said
structures are needed
to give a concrete shape
to ideas)

Blues are vast
touch different chords
clouds conceal horizons
limitlessness
under shadow

A chimney filters
toxicity
clarifies the air
for a relook at thought

I’m able to hope for
redemption
action
-denying claims of
rationalization

  6. I love how within your poem itself — between stanza to stanza — you create liminal spaces of passage, crossing from a place of entrapment to a place of hope. I especially enjoyed the clever hub of the poem — the “blues” that finally provide the vision needed to move forward, a glimpse of “horizons limitless.” Brilliant as always, Reena.
