Sravani Singampalli’s most recent poem to appear here was “Power of a ‘No'” (July 2018).
No freedom
By Sravani Singampalli
Yesterday I saw countless
Number of stars
In the night sky.
I thought the sky
Had its own life and celebrations.
But today the sky
Was much clearer
With a very few stars.
I started counting them
And soon realized that the
Clouds had covered them.
There was no life, no celebrations.
Even the sky has no freedom
Despite being so vast.
