Poem: Brahma

Sameen Shakya

How does Brahma walk forward
with four sights opposite but same?
Can he glean what forward is?
Or must he check his hands and feet
to figure out which way to walk?
Or has he found a way to be
walking backwards without tripping?
Is that, to him, as normal as
breathing? Or can he walk in ways
our minds can’t fathom just the same
as he sees like our eyes cannot.
Is that what it means to be god?
How does Brahma walk forward?
What does forward even mean to him?
