I read the words you spilled with your ink.
The kalam wasn’t yours, you felt your words were stolen
from generations of speakers and coherent concepts that
you have been reading since your father first gave you his mother’s death book.
You never took my breaths away,
I let your imagery sink in my skin
like a child entering adolescence,
I felt incomplete.
You complied them for her-
enchanting, like waters falling from a height in a river,
You distinguished and tied her together
as I sat reading. She was such a goddess-
You were in her feet, you merely described her arms
and if I were to offer you mine-
Ink spilled just like yours- you wouldn’t come.
You believed in one of a kind
And we shared dispositions.

transcript:
august is shifting its entry wounds to october’s doors and the lines of your palms are telling you the number of summers you have spent in your shadow./ the essence of your mayhem is corpsing with sun’s each passing ray;/ the salivary savour of the right ingrown wisdom tooth has cut through your tongue./ in lieu of mango-lit dreamland hours, you are bleeding summer’s grass blades into bleached hair by the pumpkin moon./ the air doesn’t taste saline anymore. // the badlands bequeathed from your father’s lineage have traces ingrained/ even in your attic’s decades-old dust./ they are robbing you of yarns of your maternal grandma’s sarees./ and you’re tired./ you’re tired of helping your mother out to make space for every hand-me-downs/ she has been shoving under her bed. // summer did cut through like a knife/ but you had been stitching your outspoken words/ together to make sweeter sentences,/ so,/ when this year’s fall bids your birds goodbye, they wouldn’t be left with traces of your anomaly. the ones that flew out/ as soon as you opened yourself to the sun,/ for you have realised that the light/ can find you even with the curtains drawn./ there is no place to hide except for the sun’s mouth.// the top right foot of the dinning table/ has stopped creaking./ your grandfather passed away in July./ Chapatis in the house have/ thickened to the normal measure,/ so now,/ you won’t get called names on your bony frame. father sits in the bedroom, contemplating/ on the bait of his day’s sweat by/ the notes he gave out that day and the ones/ he will receive at the end of the month./ the dining table,/ now,/ sits empty in a muffled rattle.// your tongue tastes like/ the decayed French Marigolds/ you found in your late may’s school backpack./ its fragrance still travels through when/ you smell it in between the beige curtains/ of the attic’s room./ you are pondering on what must it be like to watch yourself sleep./ the heart is not heart shaped and/ you want to wash dishes with the foam/ but there are none left in the sink./ you haven’t eaten for 2 hours and,/ unlawfully,/ like an adult’s dream,/you are hungry again.

the faces on cardboard stand so still, so stubborn;
some crooked, grinning, others flushed, skinny.
they perch so distinct yet so similar. so alive in the moment, dead soon after.
what do they say about the bodies they are attached to?
how spontaneous but motionless, such misdirects they create!
some jaws clenched, some eyes flashing red;
they froze the moment but fabricating the abstract sense.
after some sixteen nights,
the bodies live vicariously through the stationary smirks,
touching each other’s arms, rejoicing in
the nihilistic environment they concocted once.
its been several years since they faced the flash,
they have propagated the boards, one for each soul.
now the memory serves only when one roams about the storeroom.
so they do, if roam not often, but once a month.
“the cardboard emits different reflections”, each mutters.
time changed their vision and their power to resist what it brought-
faces on cardboards stand so still, so stubborn,
some crooked, grinning, flushing fiendish forms.

i have so many files in my notes app that mention/are based on summer. its really hard to bid something goodbye that was never meant to stay long when you live around people and not with them. i am stuck within a corner of myself that i have created by consuming deeply irreligious media which never bothers the ones i live around. i don’t know why i am writing this because this isn’t making sense but it’s supposed to. sun today here isn’t shinning and all the birds depart from the sky by 4:30 pm. the verandah echoes emptiness even though we have just hung a new swing, knowing we will hardly sit on it anymore. we tiptoe around tragedies every other moment but in this house we never speak of the real. i need to read books and consume mitski more. the gap between those parked cars is making me realize how much i crave for a tightly packed space with my neighbours. god is not around because i was dreaming of calm waters this morning as i woke up with a jolt and my body didn’t shiver. the days will grow darker tomorrow but today is almost over and nobody seems to acknowledge how much they miss it.
oh my god i was just thinking about you yesterday! how're you?
hi heylo replying so late i uninstalled tumblr idk why mental health actually got more fucked up bc of that. anyways im back now. back for good i guess. in general, im doing well. mostly distracted ( happy, i mean), but then a sensational amount of suffering happens and im normal again. currently im doing really bad lol im at my parents. planning to leave in 10 hours. i will be better then :)
how are you? i miss talking to you, even those little conversations. i hope you’re eating well, and resting too. please reply back if you’re still active, would love to hear from you. 💗
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.
