White House

by Satish Verma

It was a rape of a city. Go ahead.
I still speak the old phrases
with back pain.

And let fly the silence
in beautiful emptiness
of a swollen heart.

On pain of anonymity
I wanted to clear my name
from tangled fame.

The after death comfort
of words when clarity
moves in the home of a meaning.
