Letter from The Mountaintop (Sonnet 2252) – Abhijit Naskar – Sonnets From The Mountaintop (Cover Reveal)


Cosmos is colored,
all color is kin.
Scarlight makes the mind,
sunlight makes the skin.

Life is nonbinary,
existence is nonbiblical.
When ‘sacred’ is anagram for ‘scared’,
to sin is our Earth Gospel.

Churchill and Columbus belong in the jungle,
loudmouth karens belong in mental institution.
Those who’ve been to the mountaintop,
grow too human for the dunghills of dogma.

Here at the mountaintop, we’re just humans –
no black, no white, no believer, nonbeliever –
here at the mountaintop, we’re each other’s keeper.
