Linked by bhupinder. Join Blogbharti facebook group.My tattered quilt
soiled.Inside the quilt I remain
suffocatedat
its sour smell nose
twitching up and down
turning from one side to the other
nose buried in the quilt I kept
suffering its sour smell.
In this same quilt
ancestors had flickered out
tears had wetted the quilt
and
its sour smell
kept reminding
today’s descendants
of ancestral pains.
My tattered quilt
soiled!
