THE HANGMAN (A poem)

The Hangman

a poem

by Aman Mittal

By the roots of his hair Some God got hold of him Abducted by His Strength Felt like a prophet of a desert. Nights are like snapshots Out of sight Like a lizard’s eyelid. And the bald white days Shade away Behind the oaks. While being pinned on a tree The man ask god If you were me, What would you do? The god replies If I were you, I would do what you did.

By the roots of his hair

Some God got hold of him

Abducted by His Strength

Felt like a prophet of a desert.

Nights are like snapshots

Out of sight

Like a lizard’s eyelid.

And the bald white days

Shade away

Behind the oaks.

While being pinned on a tree

The man ask god

If you were me, What would you do?

The god replies

If I were you, I would do what you did.
