Untitled 2
I have had a subpoena
Slapped earlier on me
This stands annulled:
Your Honor
As of now I am a free bird
I am out of jail
After nine years nine months
And nine days
Of rigorous imprisonment
Under section 420 of IPC
Further details of the case
Are furnished herewith,
Verbatim:
I am the accused
And I the victim,
I have survived the gallows
Not because I did not try hard enough
But because
My bones have become porous
With the lack of some vibrant sun on them
As the matter is subjudice
I shall refrain from further comments
I would now
Like to peel off the last traces of sorrow
On which a nascent
Glimmer of a smile is stuck
Like second hand news
I walk towards
Semi freedom
Your Honor,
From this self imposed exile,
Neither insomniac
Nor laughter starved,
Transmuting myself
To the intransigencies of time
………………….

Dark but with a glimmer of hope? A nascent smile, Chandini? Enjoying your dark and light poetry always, and bemoaning my own muse's leave of absence at the moment. Big hugs,
B.
