Intertwined senses

With a burst of dust, I gasp for breath,

crawling for my contact, the presence of mind,

eyeing the smile of death,

breathes into life, a flavor of puff,

bringing back my senses, the stinking sweat.

About the Creator

Parvathi J

Through my pages, I find the quiet complexities of pain dwelling in a solitary space, burdening life’s endless demands, and unburdening the voiceless noise.

Witnessing the questioning, I speak the deeper silence of my voice.
