Title of Poem II Autograph of a MACHINE II part 1



II   Autograph of a MACHINE   II     by Satya   pattnaik

I did not know even
When I became a machine
I carved for gold and silver
From morning to night
To run my body parts
Both in and out
Without heart and mind
Watered with desires
 Painted the globe of mine
With silver brush
To emboss in it the metallic bright
Golden dust
For d*mn ego shine
Yes, machine my body
Made the cottage
A splendid edifice
Taking the best of my life
But today
Machine my body is rejoicing
With a robotic smile
Rising my forlorn glimpses
In its dance floor
Empty howling hours
Are gathering sleeping flowers
To garland my dead heart
