The empty
road
That stretched
before my eyes…
Shocked me with
it’s intent impact
As I glanced
at it for the first time
Through the CCTV
cam.
The muddy,
rough road stretches before my eyes
Not long
enough..
Lined with
houses-tall, short,
And trees –thick
and thin,
With both
sides, it twists after a short distance
Or so it
seems..
And is no
more visible.
It has
vanished somewhere among these houses and trees
As if it
enters into a void somewhere down the lane
Into the
magical territory of some black hole
Or they have
swallowed it up.
Something is
strange here…
Something that seems natural enough
But is not
definable.
What is that….
My searching
stares find Nothing
They find
nothing that can be related to anybody
Or anything…
It’s a
strange land and a strange road…
Though puppet
like people are popping out from nowhere.
They glide
upon the same road
in their two
or four wheelers,
drop their
kids at the school gate
only to
glide back along the strange road
that is
devoured by the same twist
and enters
into the same Bermuda Triangle.
I stare…
There is no
one I know…
And nothing I
can relate to here.
