"Turbulence and Everything else"


I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that we have all dreamed of sitting by the sea,
with feet lost somewhere to the sand,
and sights bouncing off the moon. 

 

I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that we all have had a love which smells like fragrant cardamom,
when kept close, and makes us cough and suffocate the same.


I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that on some nights, the insides of our heads look like crumpled cans,
and the inner walls of a large bell, with bruises which can't be seen.


I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that today evening when the wind went hustling past your ear,
it reminded you of someone who forgot inhaling,
once and for all.


I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that sometimes you throw yourselves at people, like a ball of fur,
forgetting that thorns exist.


I don't know who we are, but I know for a fact,
that sometimes we know what we seek,
but somehow, on the way, we forget who we are.
