Shubha Pai, Raga Lahari, Pallavi Sharma

Blank

A homo sapien from a faraway land

Strands like the Amazon

The warmth of flushed cheeks

Twinkling bodies spread across the vast night sky

Had seen many skies

A bold reaction to the wrong imprisonment

Tightening of pants

Slithering like a snake

It's movement helps me talk and makes you scream

Tasted like the freshly opened bottle of Old Monk

Your absence feels like stapling of my flesh

You were the home for this wandering soul

A joker's grin for life

Worshipping the guillotined head

An often questioned omnipresent figure

A chain reaction on the Ghat road

Tuber that makes the modern day Seetama cross the Rekha

Wailing, screaming, scratching, biting

Mirror or lover's photo in the hand of a living soul.
