i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

to change

"to change," - a piece on grief and life after loss. I died that day, too. I will never be the same and neither will the world. But thank you; thank you for your pride and love. Thank you for giving me something to mourn and celebrate. Spring is of no great importance, but the rain is sweet and the sun is soft, as if nature too, has weathered after you left.

(There’s a word consisting of 6 simple letters that sounds like beautiful, beautiful poetry. Spring. By definition, it’s when the snow melts from its delicate perch on withered grass, and the world feels a little bit warmer. In temperate climates, anyway.

Where I’m from, spring isn’t anything of great importance.)
You’d be proud.

You’d be proud if you had ever been able to read this. You’d smile and pat my head and say I’m wonderful and boost my inflated, childish ego.

You’d be proud if you saw that my sister turned into a college athlete after bugging you to take her halfway across the city for basketball classes. You’d give her a cheque or something – God knows where you got that money from – and tell her to keep it up.
You’d be proud if you found out that my mum opened a clinic a little way away from that house you worked so hard to keep upright. You’d visit everyday and give her food that you never ate.

You’d be proud if you were there when my dad founded that oddly-specific medical society and decided that he’ll have some anniversary thing set up. You wouldn’t know what’s going on because he’s dreadfully vague, but you’d listen to him talk and clap your hands at the end of it.
Wouldn't you?
Things have changed since you left. The bakery we used to go to shut down. Strawberry pie makes my throat dry up in ways I never thought it would. I haven’t stayed in that house you loved for more than 15 minutes. The world has never felt so unconquerable, so unsafe.

You left in the spring, and things changed, as things do.
(Where I’m from, spring isn’t anything of great importance, because spring represents change. Where I’m from, to change is to be constant. Where I’m from, you hated static, yet remained chained to your schedules. Where I’m from, I feel like I’m not, because I am without you.

I still think that, despite all this change, you would always be proud.)

lessons from the corridor

"lessons from the corridor," - a piece written the day I went to high school for the final time. I think a part of me remains there, unable to grow up and out, and trying to remain small enough to fit. The rest of me, surprisingly or not, has moved on, but moving on does not mean no longer feeling the loss - it just means that I am glad that this is the place I miss.

Today, I sat in the third floor’s cramped classroom for the final time. I have dreamt of this day for so long – even yesterday, I thought, in my exhaustion, that I wished for all of this to be over – but now that it’s finally here, I feel a bit saddened.
We have grown to love each other, haven’t we? Through all of the times I wanted to run away from you, the brief 5 minutes of solitude and empty comfort I found in the last stall of the restroom, and all of the hurt, fear and anger that you brought into my life, I have grown. You’ve taught me a good many lessons – that silence is the strongest statement, that life is a train and we are but passengers, and that we are just two entities in a world of billions. I am small, and so are you, and you have so many other people to teach, and I have so many other things to learn.
I think I will always love you, through all of the sweltering days and distraught rains and the greasy doughnuts and saltless noodles and the yellow and blue railings and my initials carved into a desk on the second floor and the indiscernible childish scrawlings on the walls and a long-forgotten Trimax on the roof beyond the first floor – I will love you. I know that you too, will love me, as you do so many others whose voices echo through the hollowed corridors as they rush across the slippery, serrated floor.
At 3:25 PM, a bell rang today. For the last time, I stared out at the crowd of milling people. Like everyone who has had the fortune of being with you, some were sat underneath the tree, with all their bags in heaps. I thought that this was the end, but I knew that it wasn’t. As a friend, I die two deaths: one when I walk away and never turn back, and the other when my heart ceases to stillness.
Even when I do, we can never truly lose one another, for I am a symphony of all the homes I carved into every single classroom I found myself in, and no matter how many times they reduce you to the rubble of cement and dust, you will know that once, a long time ago, you had my name stamped onto the rolls – and so will I. Our time may have been short. But it has been, and that is enough.

"It does come to a close and you sort of look behind you when it's over and you're like "Well whatever childhood was, that was it.

It's already happening." (Greta Gerwig)

golden rock

"golden rock" - inspired part by the bittersweet experience of seeing a childhood house, reinforced by the embedded song and written by me.

My father takes me to his hometown today.

He grew up in this interesting little town associated with a railway network in the south. It’s quaint and quiet and so full of culture. Everything was set up by the British during the pre-Independence era. Inlaid upon the architecture is the mark of oppression, but the cement thrums with resistance.
Things that I’ve never seen before, I see today: ball badminton with wooden paddles, for instance, or even a swing made out of a chair with broken legs. The ‘swing’ reminds me of what the town stood for after the British left – to rebuild and repurpose and find something that was wrenched out of your grip. It feels innocently sweet and full of grit.

Dad takes me to his old home. We step out of the car and the rain is light. I don’t think he notices the drops clinging to the grey hair on his head.
The wind whistles past me, playing with my hair. This scene feels soft despite the rough brambles scratching at my calves. A soft, worn picture – that is what I witness today.

“Everything that happened to me,” he says, wistfully – and I can’t blame him as we stare at the rubble and dust that remains of his home (now, it’s more of a house) – “Happened here.”

almost 19 feels wrong.

one day, when i was laughing with my friends (i meant it, too. i laughed and i meant it. how strange) when they said, "wow, i can't believe you're gonna turn 19 soon!" and without flinching, i said, "i know right? i don't deserve to live till 19."

i don't know why i said that. it came from the deepest corner of my soul, i think. a truth that i've buried for so long that it no longer feels like the truth. has it ever been the truth? has it ever been not the truth?

i'm having fruit for dinner. i push the final slice of apple through my lips and reach for the banana. it's overripe. i scrunch my brows petulantly and peel it; hoping, praying that it's salvageable. ma would be so upset if it rots away. ma will be so upset. did it deserve to live? i don't know. but ma will be so upset if it didn't.

i push my finger through its core, trying to get rid of the bad parts. it's brown. dig, dig, dig. dark, darker, darkest. rotten to the core. it sticks to my fingers, almost begging me to find its worth. begging me to put my fingers to my lips and lick off its essence. i keep the dismembered fruit down and move on to another. this too, is brown. but salvageable. i don't look at the core. i tear half of it out and push it through my lips. it tastes strange. but ma would've been upset if it went to waste, so it's fine.

dig, dig, dig. almost 19 and i'm already overripe. will you push your fingers into my soul and pick out my heart just to throw it away when you find it still, withering, lifeless? will you peel off my skin and realise that happiness has never fit me just right and strip me of it all? will you swallow me whole or leave me to rot?

dig, dig, dig. dark, darker, darkest.

almost 19 feels wrong. but my lungs being selfless and unmoving feels even more so. so i breathe. in, in, in. almost 19. dark, darker, darkest. i laugh and i mean it. it feels wrong. i scrunch my eyebrows petulantly and do it again, louder.

I'm not sure how to cry. I want to, and I would like to, but they won't fall.

I thought, yesterday, that the end of the world would come for me. 

I said, I'm broken, everything awful that's going to happen, I deserve. Everything bad that has or will happen to me, I deserve it.

I thought, briefly, how some of those I cared about would fare if my time on this planet came to an end. 
A dark few minutes that every now and then my thoughts stray back to.

I want to cry. 

My mother is happy with me. Apparently that's fascinating.
I don't know how to feel. (I want to cry.)

I can't.

In a way, I do wish bad things would come for me, that maybe some kind of pain would make all the fear in my chest feel normal, maybe it would let those tears flow.

I don't want the world to end. But what does one do after a false apocalypse?

You meet god and she's mostly dead fish. You ask her why and she says most of the world is dead fish, and she's made herself to appeal to the most common denominator, the everyman funnyman comedy show that runs for eleven seasons but with the entire universe in mind. You ask her how much of the dead fish is your fault, she says it's far less than you'd think, in the grand scheme of things. You ask her if you matter at all. If you can do anything. She shrugs her rotting shoulders and says mattering is a made-up concept, like life, but sure, you can matter if you want to, on some scale. She has many scales. She doesn't know what you mean by 'anything', but you can do everything you can. You ask her if it's enough. She says there's no base requirement for deserving to exist. She's smoking a joint and the smoke filtering out of her gills gathers and forms gas giants and red dwarfs. You ask her if there's any hidden secrets of the universe you should know and she says it's not a secret if she tells, plus it's fun to let you figure it out yourself. You ask her if any of your questions were right questions and she says you worry about being right so much it might keep you from fucking around, which is as close to meaning of life as she ever bothered to make. You don't ask but she says she loves your hair, also your whole being, also your planet. She says she figured out what love is yesterday and is trying it out, which explains the ten thousand rainbows and sudden influx in rains of fish. She offers you a drag of her joint and you wake up half past midnight behind a chain restaurant clutching a smoked salmon. The new stars are winking like they're in on some joke and you're sure if you try hard enough you'll remember what it is.

everything begins with something inside of something else. a man in a woman , a child in a woman , a woman in a child , a man in a box , a girl in dreams. all round and round till everything blurs and your holding a person off the edge of themselves.

now our everything here begins with a boy in a house . a boy well aged - and sweeter than sweet. a lick of sugar so tender it melts your tongue to hold prayers at his feet. everything begins with something else inside. and this boy begins with a fear of teeth . of walls falling over to feel him till they get inside to hold him down.

everything is a lot to measure , but in the space of the boy and the house and its simply the way the house watches the boy. the way it wants to be a man to stuff itself into the boy like he sees on the dirty little shows the boy sneaks of to wet himself on.

so we enter on a set of players - the hunter and prey . a trap inside a person , ticking hunger down a night of wanton desire. here cannibalism lies sweetly to the side for everything begins when a need to devour the one you love arises. where everything begins with a boy in a wilderness that plays itself as a house. a cold thing with long limbs and secrets in every corner , peeling off the walls to sit itself in god.

as it goes everything begins with something else inside of it.

THE WHORE .

YOU ARE LEFT OPEN , STEWING ATOP A FLAME - LONG LIMBED DELIGHT STUFFED BLUE WITH BILE. A THIN-FLESHED ROACH - FOUND LEFTOVERS FROM A ONCE DIVINE THING BROUGHT TO CHOKE . ON YOUR HEAD IS A GARLAND OF INFATUATION - A RETORT OF DEMANDS MADE BETWEEN TONGUE AND RIB. TO SHAPE LOVE AS A HAND CUTTING THE BREATH FROM YOUR HEART TO BREAK THE WRIST. AND YOUR JAW DISPLACE ITSELF, BACKBITING THE TENDER-FOOTED PLACEMENT OF YOUR GOOD SELF. NOT SEEING THE GUN TO YOUR HEAD FOR YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT TO SEE THE BEST. AND SO HE WALKED , UNZIPPING YOUR SKIN TO REST HIMSELF GOD. AND YOU ARE HERE LEFT TO BREAK, A MOSIAC OF LOATHING NEVER TO SEE THE SUN AGAIN.

STUPID .

1+1 = 2 , 2-1= YOU WILL BE OKAY - SIMPLE ARITHMETICS YOU RUN EVERY DAY. TILL IT ISN'T TRUE ANY MORE AND IT COMES FOR YOUR HEAD. KNOCKING OUT YOUR EYE . AND LAUGHING AS YOU WITHER DOWN IN PAIN. MOTHER ISN'T HAPPY YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP YOUR LEGS TO THE BOY YOUR GRANDMOTHER PICKS FOR YOU . GOOD OLD DAD ISN'T HAPPY CAUSE YOUR A POUND TOO HEAVY. AND SO HE SLIPS A LAXATIVE IN YOUR DRINK - GLAD YOUR PUKING . WITH THE WORLD WIDED JAWED AND MOANING AS YOUR PELTED WITH A BARAGE OF IDIOTS AND HALFWITS , SLIPPING DEATH IN THE HEAVY FOOT OF A LIFE TINGED BY A CONFLAGRATION

GODDESS

YOU ARE A CHALLENGER - A HOT PICK ON THE TICKET . SWEET VOICED WITH A SOFT HAND. PICKING MEN UP FROM EARTH TO SET THEM UP IN PARADISE . THEY PRAY AT YOUR FEET - LICKING THE GROUND , PUTTING IN THE GRAVE ALL THE THINGS YOU'D DREAMED UP FOR YOURSELF . A WOMAN IS ONLY SOMETHING PURE WHEN SHE STRIPS HERSELF BARE. WHEN THERE IS NO IDENTITY ON HER BUT ONE THAT WOULD FEED HIM . AND SO YOU SLINK INTO A SNAKE AND PULL YOUR TEETH TO MAKE MADNESS YOUR BRIDE.
