The Old Body-






with chained ankles,





hush, thrilling lips,





a body floats inside my mind,





dwindling through the carcass,





old and vintage-





a mahogany river of crooked moonlight,





this body blooms and sinks at the same time,





uttering a blob of big sun-shaped tongue





emerging out,





emerging through the stains and walls





through veins and puddles.





this time itches now,





I have wounds all over my barren body





a body- now a pit of marks.

If you love reading my poems and works you might enjoy my book Crimson Skins. I can’t believe it has been an year since my book published and each time I hold my baby, I am choked with pride. You can get your copies on Kindle, Amazon, Pothi etc.
