Ghost Tracks

Sneha Subramanian Kanta

Top 10 Best Quotes

“How they disappear as fragments of ice, leaving a wisp of mist on the surface. The slow vastitude of winter covering a graveyard. A silent field of wolves watching moonrise. Praise the northern star. Its fullness, not leading us astray.”

“ghosts rising in barns covered with snow gliding their backs over English ivy interlaced with green creepers. a duet of hymn & slumber a landscape husked with smells of petroleum along frozen glaciers where a Diuca finch nests.”

“all memory turning to light suns dwell inside the snow sleet.”

“Yonder loosestrife, gusts carry into sea. Totemic wing. Ghost wafts above water, unravels the seismic splay of muscle tissue in the flow. Waves lap into relentless roars. Ghost in a landscape of rain carves bone beyond aviary. Water curls form a heaviness in the body. North-coast. Clef wave with ghost made of fig leaves. A storm groans with compost hands to return cyan-blue to the sea. The listless downpour submerges ghost but ghost rises to the surface with gills. Water is a memory trail of floodlines.”

“When dew settles on grass, ghost tracks turn it to gossamer rain.”

“The sky is scythe into rain. Another name for the flesh.”

“The land eschews parameters & ghosts find firmament.”

“The granularity of bones in a body. A forest with galaxies of moss.”

“The bees produce monofloral honey from linden trees.”

“Stars loosen the knots of constellations. We build new homes with propolis.”
