The moon keeps twitching itself
It follows the sun, like a question forgotten how to ask,
Half covered with the tide, half with a flag,
A shadow was told once, was believed to be the reflection of clouds.
•
The sky moved
It changed its colour
I wasn't standing
Now the sun is twitching the craters of the earth

Soumyjit is an emerging poet from Kolkata, India. His work explores themes of darkness and societal pressure, while holding onto the calming presence of nature. He is the creator of the "Half Moon," a nine-line poetic form structured around a central pivot line, framed by mirrored openings and closings. This is his first submission to a literary journal.
