Author: BUTTERFLIES OF TIME
A mass of whims and fancies
A slave of the written word
A thought in search of a sound
A throbbing inside a cage of bones
A red river twisting through narrow channels
A sponge which absorbs all
and becomes lifeless when squeezed
A bag of bones, skin and water
A puzzle with some ill-fitting blocks.
Who are you?

Taking Over
Thank you Mitali Chakravarty and Borderless Journal. Glad to be a part of the July issue
By Reena R
Taking Over
She lay still on the kitchen floor.
He came to see why dinner wasn't announced.
The girl twirled in a new dress in her room; the door locked from inside.
The boy, intent on his laptop, won game after game.
Nothing moved for a while,
no one too.
It made little difference to them
and none perhaps to her.
Inconvenient as death is, yet it is a full stop.
An illness kills time, money and patience,
especially when there is no love.
The kitchen was washed,
Prayers chanted,
a homely enough photograph found, garlanded.
The next week, a maid cooked their favourite biriyani,
stepping over the memory of the fallen body.
Reena R. lives in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. She has co-edited two anthologies and is a practicing poet.

You wave. The street splits into two The wrong turn is you An obsessed nostril sniffs out intentions Kisses are always political I want to stop and breathe out the years without you. The wind fleeing on a bird wing leaves me a feather The left is a body with an unwashed feel to it; It reeks of desire, of[Read More…]
