of dust and pain
First Published in Poppy Road Review, September 2018 The slow effervescence the vaporizing effect of the sadness body losing itself to the thin air slowly and surely the mothball slowly giving it to the air its existence and its frailty and the deep sense of attachment the ephemeral bond between the existence and frailty the curled … Continue reading of dust and pain
An exercise in futility
Following the sham of a Senate hearing (Brett Kavanaugh Vs Dr. Christine Ford)for the last few days has made my blood boil with rage and anger.I'm appalled and enraged at its possible outcome. Be a ladylike, eye pleasing appearance enough to gulp down the lies down your swan bottled neck oh! only to be bejeweled … Continue reading An exercise in futility
Assaulted – Aurora Phoenix
Come read this poem from the talented Aurora Phoenix which paints the brutal face of our reality.
you were pushed from behind
I heard in the breathless notch
in your measured words
that catch
in your voice
the tremulous quaver
in your understated stand
I have felt those hands
(haven’t we all)
one knife-wielding
– in word or deed –
while the other lays claim
with eyes or clammy paws
to my plush backside
you are the embodiment
of cultured terror apparent
the carbon dated anguish
etched on your skin
your pain quivers
on articulated tips
of your educated tongue
I jump sky high
elbow cocked in self- defense
it fades yet never ebbs
that stretched rubber band
that inhabits cells
twangs unbidden
and we sproing!
he tantrums
spews vile rhetoric
wields his power
his privilege
in ways she would burn
at stake
would she dare give voice
were she to cry crocodile
her ovaries would fry
ahhh those tantrums
we choke down
swallow hot with rancid…

Stranger
How the deforestation is affecting our wild life
A stranger amongst us
An encroachment in the middle
you are snatching
away our sanctity
posing a danger to us
standing tall in the middle,
an imminent threat,
a mess to deal with,
we have build
tall picket fences around us
To keep us safely in
A rising nuisance in the
residential Spaces
We brought down
big and mighty woods
To weave our big mansion
To rest our tiny hearts in
in the comforts of the worldly sin
We should have just got you killed
Euthanized,
Tranquilized,
So we can sleep comfortably
in our cozy warm bed
nestled in the comforts of our big house
on the piece of land
we heartlessly and mercilessly
snatched and grasped
to call our own.
–Megha
