Law of Stagnancy

By Devika

To think of my daily routine is perhaps a routine itself

With charades of rituals and slow nights.

Lavenders blooming and being still :momentary

with a gasp in air- throttling through windowpanes

there is music and lights snow

as if a thunder is sleeping,

a sharp fingernail obstructing vision.

Visions that corrugate over time.

I have no where else to sleep often but my empty lawn

with meteors and stars imitating God- like figures.

I have nowhere to run.

Not a single shade.

No eye.

No ear.

Everything walks into a sad oblivion- my daily routine is more of a body ache.
