I Woke up in a Mansion

I Woke up in a Mansion

A Poem by Jayeeta Bhattacharya
"

A Surrealist imagination.

"

 

 

I woke up in the Mansion

,cobwebs everywhere

Lizards moving beside me

Bigger than I could imagine

"We get more more blood

than you" they said.

The dusty window pane showed

Some abstract letters

A Panasonic view outside....

A horse brown aged eating

The yellow pasture

He looked at me.A familiar face

But I lied down.fatigued, poor soul!

It was gone by the time I slept

A black crow staring at me

My soul..

The bird sitting on the dressing

Table.captive as I am she was not much worried

The crow was busy in her make up....some broken watch that

Has stopped the time.....

Time is still!

The horse watching me

A glorious skin,big neck,

I felt horny_____

As I tried to see myself I lost the

Mirror it was opaque.

The crow laughed at me

Looking at myself I wondered

I was an old tree

My bag has everything i needed

Both in a symbiotic relationship

The bag loved me.

It has my heart ,a small kidney

The breast full of milk

I hugged the bag

The crow took away my heart

She laughed .I was inside the

Old mansion

The horse outside.

The azure sky dirty,

I tried to clean the mirror

Alas it was not changed the

Spiders woke one by one

As night came...

I ate the half eaten dinner

The left over of the crow

It shouted in joy

She was so happy like a queen

Without wings

Me too without wings

Nobody has.

We are caged inside

Fantasizing the brown horse

A chauvinist animal!

Free outside

Seductions

Desires

Dejection

Decorate the mansion....

Once a beauty now a witch nest.

Captivity reminds us of

What we could do......

Until death bell I kept waiting

My soul inside the happy crow

The spiders are marching towards me

Captive within the cobweb unresolved.

Time has stopped forever.

Life waits for the last period.
