Alone at HomeA Poem by Jayeeta BhattacharyaBeing lonely at home
Alone at home Whenever alone Repertoire begins; Anecdotes ...... Fabulist onrush Of ambivalent Graphics of death Of life invincible Scary bulbous misshapen! Death invokes into the Fluidity of my veins Life so menacing so acute To the vibrant faculty of Death...... The dead partakes my zest So emphatic corpulance Of the felicity of death Calls on, I cannot avoid him The walls all white with Contour nuance of life, muted by the straddles Of the other side of life. I feel concupiscence at the Spare and supple touch of Death! My sagging present tense Live astride of Both the coasts of horizon My friends and loved ones Long dead Make a cacophany of ochre I watch the revelations Aesthetic works on them The time alone at my nest Raptures life I still feel so scared of life The call of death Sumptuous and painterly So tranquil an invitation I fear I must leave this attire, This musk of life Long dead as I am...... When I live alone The death calls me back Alone I am not with the "he" Magnificent phallus Pulls me into a sea of orgasm Frenzied as I am With the tableaux of morbidity Alone I dive into the amplitude Of death. I live into past I live into future I leave off my presence When I am alone Alone at my home..... © 2020 Jayeeta Bhattacharya |
