Simmer by Thushara Reddy

Simmer.jpg


As i lie simmering in my cauldron,

i’m sharply aware of the joys of the big wide world

i do not have access to.

as i lie putrefying

in my own filth

I’m sharply aware of all the smiles

that never found my lips.

oh, where, and what is the way out of here ?

out of this limbo, this place with no lights

this place where the calm of death

wreaks havoc across souls ?
