Sunset and Shore
Sunset and Shore
Insufficient my words
As everything shifts
The World Revolves Even if You Stand Still
I heard Rawlins say
I have the recipe
I don’t have the ingredients
Should one figure out replacements
Or wait for seasons to turn
Maybe develop patience
In the meantime,
Carve a personal space
Wind funneled
Water channeled
Plenteous to
One Way Familiarity
The unfamiliar
Always introduce herself to me
With the ease of a biker
Piercing holes in a tight traffic
Running thrice as fast than everybody else
Pissing all as it passes by
And that’s how she came
With that certainty on her face
Polar
I heard myself in her voice
Immediately I told her
Please don’t slowly become me
You know how
much I
hate myself
“Aren’t you supposedly a narcissist?”
But I’m a narcissist who doesn’t like mirrors
Hull
That brief moment
Both were sure
The victim
Eye the torturer
Too late to run
Too fast the blow
As Predicted
Please don’t equate silence with laziness
Or some form of complicit
Surrender or defeat
To elements that threaten
Though natural or inevitable
October digests differently
Approaching a finish line
Of a race that doesn’t really ends
Until your heart stops
October is when I put my head down
Compensate for lost time
Wasted in jawing about
Creating
Then I don’t
There’ll be glimpses
Here and there
Persuasive to tilt
The Limitations of Projections
As this simulation might as well be a ruse And the only way to truly defy expectations Is to go all out And outright lose
(Onion) Skinned
I once had a theory
I used to hold as truth
About wounds
That maybe if I bleed
It would help avoid
Suffering a heart attack
It’s nowhere based on fact
Cyclones Every Last Quarter
In some weird dream
Trying hard to recall
She spoke to me sounding
Like a hymn
Or the lull before
A raging big wave
I held on til it fades
