1 Poem by Irfan Afzal

A METAPHOR’S USE

The thin epidermal skin
of your life
neat, patterned, structured.

Watch it from a distance
hold it against the sun;
it glitters, shines.

Peel it off
layer by layer
reach the bulbous deep.

Now tell what you see.
Use this metaphor to
wipe the spill, the meaning.
