PLEADING by Satish Verma

Mooneater, I am my poem: 
fantasy of words 
traveling through fog. 

When light sneaks in, 
would you like to weep 
with me? 

Dear death, 
I am not ready to 
close my chapter. 

You are you 
but I am not me – 
taking a flight in dark. 

Disintegrating, 
I am collecting the spiderwebs 
to catch the moon.
