Abhay Mishra - Today

Today,
A tear dropped,
Then tears dropped
Onto the surface of my face
Then a thousand tears dropped
Then a million tears dropped
From the flesh to the surface of the earth
And amalgamated into a river
I brought some logs
A canoe I built
Set the oar and liquid in debate
I rowed on and on
Into the endless miles of moor.

Today,
Alone, while
Sitting under a solitary tree on horizon
Twice the world spun,
No more I was alone,
Thumping and thundering,
Solitude approached,
In thousands it reproduced
Into one, all of them fused
In another incarnation I was lead
They created a world of their own
No flesh, No life,
An unknown zone
Nothing but silence, I could see
Nothing but nothing, I could hear
Enshrouded life, Far and near
And in equilibrium,
Set the pleasure and pain,
Elected me they, to rule
the world on the other side of the door.
