Month: January 2022

Immersed in the day to day 
the simple and the complicated,
the personal and business
push me to the end  of the world.

Before I could get up
another one comes from nowhere
dumps me in with a force
 I sink faster than before.

 That is how my life 
 moves one going in 
 and coming out like a fish
 unable to find a status.

Like to learn a technique 
breathing with closed eyes
the characteristic of the fish
aware  and unaware,

a simultaneous progress 
that keeps it afloat 
in deep waters
almost untouched.

It is been nearly half a century
 two years shot in real
co existing with one 
a life partner,  who 
blames me for the failures.

Shouts clenching his teeth,
 “It is because of you”,
good things escape
hearing  the first time
 I became frightened ,

Year after year
the allegations grow 
more in number, “it is 
you and it is you”
always and ever,

I have turned deaf 
to his screams, remain
quiet most times,
 at periods  hit back 
with vehemence.

Those days go far into violence
 it is reciprocals that govern
I and you demand a corner
 fingers point, eyes twitch
 body shakes, a trauma ,

on the verge, I proceed 
 with a determination
 whatever comes, I will 
 stay  stoic, enough of 
 bowing down,
