(For Sergey Grichenko*)

Hope lurking

Deep down

Beneath layers

Of solid rock

In the earth’s

Bowels

Trapped between

The pervious and

The impervious

Tantalizes

The Diviner

 

And Deep down

Beneath thick

Layers

Of chapped skin

In the dark

Hollow

Of the human heart

Glowers

The steady flame

Of a silent prayer

(Sergey Grichenko was a Ukrainian oil engineer, kidnapped and killed by a terrorist outfit in Assam.)
