the mute witnesses

Sampath Kumar.

he’s searching

for her

who has gone missing

no message

no whisper

just poof, and she vanished

he checks his wrist

the love bracelet

that she had given seems

still warm

and smelling of her

but she is now nowhere

the tall trees seem to know

but are strangely quiet

the nocturnal chorus

of the crickets and cicadas reveal

where she lies

which he will never find.
