Lethean
The curtain walls of the concentric castle
Has consented to sell some of its stories
To the black stream of burbling oblivion
If it proves profitable, or even if it does not
They will be sweet-talked into selling more

Till every last mud brick of their endurance
Sails past the penumbra of afterlife
As new age storms through the drawbridge
To fortify their land with new memories
** Since you are here, I am going to ask you for a small favor. A few days back, I came to learn about the Poona Blind School and Home for the blind, located in Pune, Maharashtra. They provide education, residence, meals and every other necessity — all free of cost — for visually-impaired kids aged 5 to 18. But this free of cost comes at a cost. So, I highly encourage you to donate to their crowdfunding project on Ketto.org — whatever amount you can. Mr. Krishna, current in-charge, is doing a commendable job, and I myself have donated for a vegetable kit two days back. I’m not sponsored by them or Ketto; just though it would be a good place to spread words about them. Here’s the link:

Thank you for reading my work.
