Analysis of nothing at all
Shaurya Dimri 1996 (Delhi)
There is far too much sadness
sewn into my skin.
When did it get in?
Like ink
spilled on white cloth,
this sorrow
stains every thought.
I try to flee
but I'm caught
in between
melting into the melancholy
heeding its call
or feeling absolutely
nothing
at all.
