I wake up like a morose light, struggling to die again.
Like hurricane to lost voices, burning alongside with bare chest, bare hands.
cease and demarcating the thousands of muted language
gushing through my spines and eyes,
My widowed palms are oily, lavender diffuser emptied.
and i perch on the laps of a sleepless blue continent.
This sacred feeling is like a giant whale, eating me whole,
rubbing between its bleeding hands,
distort like a lake, a sky of colourless beams
and hearts set on fire.
I twist in my body more and more,
a little more, into this dreamless barrier of pause.
The spun of itch, the scars.
the flat rooted chest- all like a flower now,
blooming.
i flex my knuckles to count the bones, hallow sinking chunks of skin.
this pain is a flat horizon of a flower.
Different emotions well penned!!

The pain surges and takes us whole and your beautiful metaphors do justice to all the emotions beautifully. Every time I read a post on your blog, I think there can’t be
a better metaphor to define pain and then you break that assumption with the next post of yours. Well done, Devika.

Maybe I want to explore my pain more and more.
But I hope it doesn’t completely make a reader think dark. That’s not my motto.
You are always so kind.
