Limpid. Doe eyed fright;
caught in the headlight.
Brimming. Hope. Spirit.
Light burning deep,
seeps into the fathoms.
Hurting.
Put up a fight. Succumb to the light.
Loud. Clamour of heartbeat;
encased in jail ribs. Cold feet.
Sweating. Reminder.
Struggle to breathe,
yet another life prod.
Gasping.
Take a life breath. Smother under the sheet.
Lustre. Shines through clouds;
dark greys lurk. Shrouds.
Stunning. Silver lining.
Omen of life,
Stoic voices.
Spluttering.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
-Anuradha Venkatnarayan
