alone

('alone' is about people in my life who are alone)

2000m above sea, on her way, weighting, my paati
ma, juggling pasts and presents
pa, fighting fears and failures
confused by infused ideas, akka wakes
mama, drained and dried
building tumbling towers in the basement, rohan, baffled
raghav smiles. scored by shadowed sweetness, my heart skips
my love, swimming in superimposed episodes
bold, beautiful, broken, my friend
I am sat down, silenced by juxtaposed realities
alone

(paati - grandmother, ma - mom, pa - dad, akka - sister, mama - brother-in-law)
