Dreams–Undreamt

By Gayathri Devi Dutt

Rolled a dual dice twice in succession a try
And that went into the clouds beyond the sky
Merged into the clouds and vanished into the rain’s nest.

I scribbled the digits dice displayed on the sand dunes
So I could remember, but the thunder shower tunes
Deafened the ears and blindfolded my vision.

The roaring showers quietly glided down to earth
In concentric circles though not latitudes in girth
Well, global citizenship and development assured?

The vertex of the hemisphere ensured enlightenment
The dual dice got dampened and deciphered confinement
Wow the dice impersonated into a giant volcanic lava!

The double dice displayed digits of equal value for sure
The search algorithm drove to destinations that endure
Yet, the discord and combat synchronized into infinity?

Numerals and place value crystallized a refracted angle
Got reflected and manifested an unfathomable quadrangle
Deep down the earth’s crust, a hard core rock bottom?

Parallel lines never meet, perpendicular sit on one another
Any type of triangle is taxonomy of evaluation earth mother
The hew on the grassy sand vanished like a water bubble.
