by Sandeep Kumar Mishra My mental wire renders Images of worn out routes After a short circuit happened In the pathways of daily burdens; My diseased body quivers with its weight The hard stitch rubble, The skin snatchers Leeched of life force And I have little energy to breath; The voice I hear is not my own, It dictates notes in familiar tones But full of foreign phrases, Which it disguises as invitation; I wish I could dissolve myself from memory Or hide in my skull cave, But it is not wise to stifle: Then an unlearned laughter came A spring emerging into sun rays The Sea emerges from the death of the river There are two ways to live a life I can pursue the difficult one Copyright 2019.
