Secret Sonnets

Sonnet I:
"In the corners of the cautious mind, there lives an archive of doorways, saying not here, but beyond this shadow, we'll find the sun roaring past metal clouds—if lungs open and feet footlessly anchored, willing the world all around." —Latitude 43°, West Shade

Sonnet VIII:
"Children of silence scribble epics in dust, among vibrating machines old as ancestors, hailed heartily, by sheep moving on in tidy lines, the river never rushing to a dawn, yet serenity plans launch its sounds." —Longitude 88°, Thorn Ridge

Sonnet XV:
"Sundays pass replete with eve mauve echoes, relic ships drift freighted remnants, while workers conjure resolutions mid mundane task lists, careworn coffee makers suds." —Northeast India, forgotten bays
