Consent
Consent is what calls for untoward
When we lose our minds
In hopes of not losing them;
It rights people to perform harshness
With grace, and turn the blame on us.
Consent is nothing but a web
Of lies and unjustness,
Felt heavy at the moment.
It's nice to ask
but never to approve.
It's a web, again.
A web of the unconscious in
the moment of liveliness

Cacophonies of July
July has swept in like an unwanted stroke in a painting/ overshadowing the joys of June,/ breaking the eggshells on the kitchen counter into halves./ He wishes he had a bowl nearby to assemble the golden yolks./ The air is unbecoming, he cannot sense/ the rich yellow fibers in his mouth anymore.// Time is running on its course again,/ leaving him no choice but to breathe in the tram./ the dazzling sun is playing hide and seek./ The ground is demanding to be wet./ In the time of raging prickling sun,/ the ground is demanding to be wet.// He is turning over in between crimson sheets,/ a breath of fresh air and humidity, tepid skin./ The voices outside are muffling from siren roars/ as once again children step outside with/ a books-laden shoulders,/ not rainbow imprinted palms.// "I miss breathing in June. I will pine away July”,// The boy mumbles gazing hastily over the congested sink,// demanding repatriation in his anna’s house./ He is seeking patience in cowardice./ There's a little left for August’s arrival,/ he must seek patience in cowardice.

The untoward had happened;
none heard my bones cracked,
none felt the silence it left me with.
The earth beneath me wasn’t holy or fertile.
It was cemented, though crooked, unzipping.
The sky turned on me,
enclosing my body, following my soul-
I didn’t turn my head in, it was held straight
but another did not shield my body, I was left alone.
Thus, the realisation flickered my shattered soul:
The fate of being alive
didn’t help the survival,
didn’t care for salvation.

home-wrecker! your devoid/ awaits my freedom./ seventeen and sucking the dirt/ out of your newspapers:/ annihilating a mother’s only successor.// the aftertaste of your/ sweet breakfast: there/ is another political argument/ i do not want to fight./ your lips so unsealed,/ i almost divide.// the khaki pants,/ the leather chappals;/ in your dreamland,/ i am burrowing the glass dirt./ in your dreamland,/ you are excavating the cause’s birth.// i see your fingers placed/ evenly on the knife,/ a firm grip on the pink onion,/ too tight sometimes./ the stretch of the thumb/ is eluding the blade;/ the blade so clear/ we prick each other’s face. // an apple pudding,/ a national plight,/ i heard you singing/ in the shower tonight,/ i heard you escaping/ from the waters tonight. // i unmake your bed before/ the bell chimes 8./ your silver- worn hands/ hold me at a caressing stake./ the dreams,/ if not forgotten,/ hold a near distant reality:/ i am holding your breath in my wake.

standing by her mother in the kitchen,
she plays around with knives and spoons.
her mother refrains, she puts them back;
gazing graciously, her eyes linger upon the stove-
four feet is all, she tiptoes
a little closer: steam's up to her face.
she sees the color-
dazzling brown with a tint of red.
tastes saliva, she can feel the cardamom,
though too small to even boil the water.
her steps pace the kitchen,
a frown lingers upon her head,
"what are you cooking, mama?"
"your brother's favorite."
