Touching You Daily

Unmasking to remain
human. Listen, listen to my bane.
I am neither living, nor dead.

I am left with what I am not,
after you walked away with Agni.
My footfalls resound in water.

I am taking care of
lovebirds. They miss you when calls
don't come and food runs short.

Breaths Of Reality

.

Borders sing of invitations

made of barbed wire

and ancient locks

.

Kittens mewl at dawn

whenever boots fall

a treaty of opposites speak.

.

Old fossils dove dream 

the skies are on fire

no one listens to creaking earth

.

Another mango limb falls

the leaves know their value

no hands were severed

.

Lady A
