The Spilled

Bijay Gurung

If wishes could be wishes true,
I would wish for a refill
In the shapeless cup of my ceramic life,
Of the elixir I have spilled
And spurned,
Neither on gardens of my own
Nor on resolute fires and sparks
Neither flowers nor forges.

All of it has evaporated,
Leaving only flakes of emptiness.
