Y: Yielding #NaPoWriMo
That stone you trip over on your way out
Is just the tip of something buried under
Our marriage eight thousand odd days old.
I know each arc of your words
You know how I bare my soul.
That stone will not be dug in our lifetime
It’s where our eight thousand odd habits lie
That is where our stories will be told.
Of how we yield to each other
Breathing whatever the future holds.

Z: Zephyr #NaPoWriMo
When I die scatter my ashes
Somewhere like this.
Where the morning creeps in
On the wings of a whistling
Thrush. Where night jars
Ballet with the call of the frog
Where the mist lifts
Long after the day has dawned.
Where blue hills stretch away
Eternally. There let me be
Blown in the wind. And
Should you ever feel the need to visit
Go somewhere with no network.
And call out my name. I won’t be…

V: Vibrant #NaPoWriMo
Where are the flavours of summer? Surely in the tart stickiness of the mango Or the cloying sweetness of jackfruit Buzzing around the house like fruit flies. The crickets chirping in the trees Music coming as from a lifetime away As gulmohor blooms scatter restlessly Unanchored in the evening breeze. Who is it who has tasted summer In the iced watermelon melting In rivulets lingering upon…

S: Silence #NaPoWriMo
How can I be silent,
How can silence fill my howl
The tears I do not cry
The grief
I wear like a cowl
That I borrowed from you
As you lay dying
The words I left unsaid
My truths
Exposed and cloying
Patterns upon the bed
Where I watched over you
As you fought to live
My thoughts
Unheard, untouched, untrue
How can I not be silent
No words to share or give
How can then my silence
Give you

R: Restless #NaPoWriMo
In the moonlit path we walked together
‘There are wild foxes here,” you said, I took a step closer
Wondering if we would see them unless
They saw us first and swallowed us whole.
My hair caught in branches that swept low, pulling
At our clothes. “It’s eerie,” you smiled, disentangling
the strands, “but beautiful,” I murmured, breathless.
“Exactly. That’s why I come here for a stroll
on nights…

Q: Quiet #NaPoWriMo
Today someone asked after you
I looked here and there
unwilling to share
your absence.
And now I look as if on cue
to the moon out there
uncaring to share
my silence.
