ahh am i imagining this..

what a start of a day today!

the one-worded daily calender
astrology too .. says its a ‘trouble’
for my ‘raasi’ moonsign’: mesham

so a cancerously ’immobilising’
an inevitable ‘stop press’.. in an
accumulated infectious benumbing
mountainous petrifications.. that

perplexingly.. either feels as an
overly felt in bleed & pains.. as dying
each moment .. a lamping flame
still sparkly unwaveringly bright..
warrioring anything.. not just to
be alive .. but in a love of living

or just an already dead .. a clinically
just gotten killed a necrotic pathogenicity
of an apathetic irreversible impossibility
that had been plummeting down in
a sinistrous negative momentum.. to
a clusterful dipteran wormy eaten..
an unrecognisably left over.. a messy
burial.

the breaking news flashes all over..
as if reflective of my burning closure..

“Heathrow airport to be closed all day
due to a power outage caused by a fire.. “

fuming high flames of a consuming fire
amidst all the enshrouding darkness..
in a substation nearby…

i pray & wonder.. which one do i feel
to FEEL more.. . the love & this life .. ..

or unfeel to UNFEEL more.. to
a pathetic uncared by any soulful
one.. to be in a brutal suicidal.. a
thickeningly cruel pyre burial

a flaming divine lighted lamp..

or a monstrously devilish fire

l i f e or d e a t h

l o v e or a p a t h y

p o e t r y or p r o s a i c

du- pian or o r p h a n

whatever

the flame of this lamp
IS on & on ..

forevermore
