Yellow – scratched and heavy
an unknown desire to melt between the stasis of the sky.
Yellow,
a color that dissolves inside my thin muscles,
my tongue wired up with your name,
a loose sheet of kiss and melancholy,
Yellow: a quiet tapestry that hangs loose
bearing limbs out of balance
bearing mouths dripping foolish sins.
An external pain of the body,
a pain crisp as our bedsheet
I am a bunch of memories that belong to the sky
patched and cornered.

You’ve ended this perfectly, Devika.
“I am a bunch of memories that belong to the sky
patched and cornered.”
This seals the poem solidly. Great work!

Hi Shreya-
We feel, we know almost everything. We feel, we see and sense everything. But the scope extends beyond the oblivion.
Thank you for this!:)
