Purple Haze


paint stripping scream
of an electric guitar
mean bas line and
pounding drums
playing tight and loose.

bone crunching rhythm
menace of charging animals
volume set to permanent hearing damage
smoke and wild psychedelic lights
vision struggles in purple haze.

transcendental sufi and baul songs
on a hard rock stage
neo metal bands
rolls and pitches of sound waves
gravelly voice of the singer
as if smells blood
glint in the eyes
gyrates to the tune

front rows sway to the music
a large round of applause
the auditorium wall
buzzes around the band

with time the
energy level dissipates
its tepid tides
cleanses all and sundry
emptiness all around
on the circuit
riddles with intolerance.

an escape from life
a voyage of denial
war against orthodoxy
ends up nowhere.

Gopal Lahiri
